My iPhone has my daughters contacts and all of mine are gone. No one else is logged into my iPhone account.
I’ve changed my password in ICloud but there is no option to restore my contacts.
has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you fix it?
Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other

Does your daughter have her own Apple ID? If you share one Apple ID and you both synchronize Contacts via iCloud, this can happen.
Do you have a backup from before the time you lost your Contacts? If so, you can restore from that backup. You will lose messages and phone logs newer than that image, but you should get your Contacts back.
Also, while many people choose to store their Contacts on their email servers, many more do not. My Contacts are stored exclusively on my iPhone (and iPad, same Apple ID) and not on any of the five email servers I use.
iPhone suddenly has other people’s contacts
