Thank you in advance.

   - name: show message if interface is not down
     fail:
      msg: "Interface is not down"
     when: {{ interface }}.operstatus == "up"
 
will this work?

Probably not, but you could have tried yourself?

Drop the moustaches as when conditions are already evaluated as jinja

Definitely not, that is pulled from thin air if you ask me.

Try that:

when: vars.get('ansible_' + interface).active

Note:

Gather facts saves the network interface information in separate variables (e.g. ansible_eth0) instead of a dict/list,
so accessing the info for a specific item is a bit awkward.
