I upgraded to Catalina and now all my photos are gone. The program PHOTOS is empty. What happened?

I upgraded my MacBookAir to Catalina. After some time I went to my photos and it is empty and asking me to set up as if new. Where are my pictures? In changing to Catalina was there something I was to do?

I have a back up somewhere of pictures but now will need to load one by one?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

Locate your iPhoto library in the Pictures folder and double click on it. It will open in Photos and be migrated to a new Photos library.

How recent is that somewhere back up? That sounds like a cut and paste vs a copy and paste problem.
