128GB is the storage on your iPhone. You can see how much of that you are using at Settings > General > iPhone Storage.

50GB is your upgraded storage on iCloud. Your screenshot is showing that from Settings > [username] > iCloud.

That is two different things. See information in: What's the difference between device storage and iCloud storage? - Apple Support
