how do i restore the built in clock icon on home screen that i accidentally deleted

With iOS 14 apps can be removed from the home screen without being deleted. If you have iOS 14, go to the App Library (swipe left past your last home screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it left back to the home screen.

If that is not the cause, try using Search to see if that will locate it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201285

If it was deleted, see the following from Delete built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS 14 or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support
