Well, the original question has only three options:
We must/ We should/ We shouldn’t have a PE lesson now, but our PE teacher’s ill so it’s been cancelled.

Where's the "original question" from?

If those are the three options, "should" seems the only likely answer. "Must" is wrong, and "shouldn't" wouldn't make sense in the context.

"We should have had" or "We should be having" are both possible too.

The page you linked to doesn't show that question. Maybe it occurs later in the exercise but it appears you have to become a member to see more.

Thank you. I suggest going with "should" then.
 
I agree with Barque, use "should have".
