Keeping stuff out of the cloud and getting it off onto my harddrive

My folders and documents are all of a sudden being saved to the cloud. I don't believe I changed any settings, but maybe so. I want all of my info on my hard drive, not on the cloud. I know how to turn icloud off in settings but want to get all of my info on my computer before doing so. How?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

Move items to your Mac and remove them from iCloud Drive

On your Mac, drag items from iCloud drive to another folder in the Finder sidebar or on the desktop, such as Downloads, Movies, Music and Pictures.
The items are copied to your Mac and removed from iCloud Drive on all your devices set up for iCloud. If you change your mind, you can drag items back to iCloud Drive.
