SPOOL is a SQLPlus directive and you can't mix it into the PL/SQL anonymous block. If you're going to do this purely in SQLPlus, I think the general idea would be to process in two passes, i.e. use a first script that dynamically generates the spool filename references into a second script that actually makes the dbms_metadata call.

This should be close to what you need - maybe a line termination problem, depending on your platform:

    set pagesize 0
    set linesize 300
    spool wrapper.sql
    select
    'spool '||object_name||'.sql'||chr(10)||
    'begin 
    dbms_metadata.get_ddl('||chr(39)||object_type||chr(39)||','||chr(39)||object_name||chr(39)||')'||' end;'||chr(10)||
    '/'||chr(10)||
    'spool off'
    from user_objects
    where object_type = 'PROCEDURE'
;
spool off
