Right now a single switch turns on both light and fan.
You want to put in a double switch to control light and fan separately.
But the problem is there is not a separate wire to each the light and fan.
You need a separate wire to each, but the circuit wasn't wired that way.
Usually when the circuit is wired for separate control, there is a red wire that also goes to ceiling box.
Unless you run another wire to the ceiling box, it won't be possible to control light and fan separately.
Electrician can do this pretty easily if there is attic space above bathroom.
