If you are signed in to iCloud on your Mac and have activated your iCloud Drive then the documents in iCloud are already on your Mac and in the iCloud Drive folder. They sync between the two.
You can use Finder to move a document from the iCloud folder on your Mac to another location on the computer; this will remove it from iCloud.
Desktop and Document folders can also be syncronised with iCloud and if you have chosen this in:
System Preferences > Internet Accounts > iCloud
OR
System Preferences > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Drive Options
the files in these two locations also will be iCloud unless you move them elsewhere.
Be aware that if you move items from iCloud they are no longer backed up unless you have a local backup regime.
