Hello, EdricF.
I understand that you’ve encountered a hiccup when installing macOS Catalina. I understand how important retaining your files is and want to help.
Restarting your Mac will probably not result in data loss. Before doing that, I would say that if you have essential data that isn’t backed up, synced to iCloud or some other cloud service, you might seek out third-party data recovery before doing anything with your Mac. Please note that Apple Stores do not offer data recovery services.
Be Well.
