If you enable iCloud Photos on your iPhone, the photos should appear automatically on the iPhone. Or did you delete the photos from your iPhone while the photos have been syncing with iCloud? Then it will be safer to keep the iPhone offline, until you have saved the photos from iCloud to a computer.

Do you have a computer, where you are seeing the photos in Cloud? Then mail the photos to your iPhone or Air Drop them, if you do not want to use iCloud Photos Library to sync the photos to the iPhone.

Thank you so much for helping, I really appreciate it! I tried to mail the photos from my computer but received them as a link, is that normal? Might be because of the quantity of photos. Also, In my photos app they all show up in a separate shared album where I could only look at them and not save them, as well as a label that reads: "iCloud link available until Oct 7". Does this mean these photos will be shared only until Oct 7 in which they'll disappear again?

When you mail so many photos at once they will be send by Mail Drop with an iCloud Link. This link is only valid for a short time. During this time you can download the item and save it to Photos.
