Question
I don't understand this part of the instruction for this pattern what does 9 ch 5 sps mean in my crochet pattern
I'm afraid I don't have enough information to answer. I don't know what the pattern wants you to do with the 9 chains and 5 spaces. Can you copy the entire line of instruction exactly as written?
Revision:
After rereading your question, I think they're telling you that you should have nine spaces, each consisting of 5 chains. These would be like empty squares on your completed piece, such as in filet crochet. Does that make sense to you?

Expertise
Traditional Crochet and Filet Crochet (not clothes) I do more thread crochet than yarn.
Experience
I have been crocheting for over 50 years. As a child growing up in New Orleans, LA, I had aunts and older cousins who taught me, but now they are all gone and sadly, there is no one who crochets in my area. I hope to be able to meet fellow crocheters through this website, and I'd be delighted if I could help someone answer a question. I'm sure I'll be asking my share, also.
I specifically enjoy doilies and afghans. I really like designing filet crochet. I don't make clothes, other than hats and scarves.
Education/Credentials
I learned as a child in the 50's from aunts and older cousins.
