If I delete my photos from my phone to clear storage, will it automatically delete from the iCloud storage? Do I have to transfer all of my photos to the icloud drive? My phone doesn't have anymore storage but i'm hesitant to delete all of my photos and they also be deleted from iCloud by default.
Yes. iCloud is for syncing so any action you takes when an iCloud feature is turned on for a device will do the same for i cloud, that device and any other device with that iCloud feature on.
Only delete items you are 100% sure you do not want anymore. Also look at iCloud optimization options.

iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204264
Apple does not currently offer cloud-only storage for photos. If that is what you want or need, you may want to explore 3rd party options such as Google Photos or Dropbox.
Another way that photos may be on iCloud (if you don’t have iCloud Photos turned on) is via a backup of an iOS device. The only thing you can do with a backup is use it to restore a device or set up a new device. The contents of backups are not viewable at iCloud.com and if you delete a photo from a device it will not be included in future backups and will be lost.
