I bought a 200 gb iCloud storage and itā€™s not storing any of my photos into the iCloud . My phone is not working properly due to low storage space. How do I get things moving along?

iCloud storage does not add extra storage to your phone.

iCloud is a cloud storage system.

You can Go into Settings > iCloud > Photos and select ā€˜Optimise Photo Storageā€™, this will free up space on your phone by storing your photos in low resolution, while keeping the original high resolution photos on iCloud, which you can access at icloud.com
