Is there a way to retrieve my messages if the thread was deleted? I tried to just delete one message because it wouldn’t send, and it ended up deleting them all. Is there a way to get those back?

iPhone X, iOS 13

Assuming you didn't sync them icloud (if so it is gone), but did regular back ups to icloud or itunes then you do this Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
