Contacts disappearing

My contacts suddenly disappeared from my phone. I have checked that the settings are correct for contacts. iCloud is on for contacts. I checked the default setting and that was set to gmail and not iCloud. How do I retrieve my contacts now.? I have changed the setting to icloud in the meantime.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other

If Contacts on iCloud, try this --> Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks and more using ...

How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
What is your default Contacts Account?
Which email account you are using to store Contacts?

See the GIF below for Contacts and Default Account

This example is for Gmail but the process remains same for all Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
