Where did all my files go?? (iCloud)

Hello there! I was annoyed with receiving notifications about my iCloud storage being full so based on some reading I did, I logged out of iCloud, and all of the files on my desktop were gone. I logged back in, and the only files left were those backed up by my iCloud (for reference, I am a college student, and ran out of storage in the autumn of 2018- I really need to get these files back, as there is a lot that was not in my iCloud storage). I would really, really, really love some help if anyone has any tips or suggestions for something I can do to get my original photos of work back (I am an art student) as well as two semesters of really hard work, including notes, slideshows, essays, etc. etc. Any assistance is well-appreciated.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
