Were you married in the USA? Are you in the UK or USA now? How did you first come to the USA and marry your husband? You can't just come here on a VWP and expect to stay and adjust status. Even though USCIS are allowing that a little more now but you need to come here on the proper visa as VWP is non immigrant visa, You want to immigrate here so your husband needs to file a CR1 spousal visa for you to come here and stay. This allows you to enter and work right away and GC on arrival no adjusting needed.

Ok so you married in USA and then went back to the UK for university? am I right so far. You were together 2 years before you married or after? If you did not apply for a green card after your marriage you can't go back to USA and just stay there. You can't visit on VWP as this is non immigrant visa and you intend to immigrate and stay with your husband.
Your husband now needs to file a CR1 spousal visa for you to re-enter the USA legally. You will have an interview in UK and medical and then if approved you will receive visa with green card stamp till you receive hard copy one in USA. You will also be able to work upon entry into. the USA.

Your husband starts by filing an I-130 petition.

Guides are here https://www.immihelp.com/family-base...on-procedures/ to show how the whole process works.

You will get an IR1 visa and a 10 year greencard when you enter the US because you've been married for more than 2 years. The process could take 6-8 months.

You will still be allowed to visit on visa waiver while you are waiting.
