Sorry, no. Backups need to be made before you need them. If you had enabled iCloud Sync (which is not the same as iCloud backup) before you forgot the passcode then after you restore the phone as described below you can re-sync that content back to the phone. It won’t be everything you had on the phone, but it will be a lot of it.

To set up iCloud Sync you would go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud and turn on the switches for content that you desired to sync, such as photos, contacts, calendars, etc. Did you do this?

To restore the phone to service use these instructions—>If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support or this companion video:
