Hello,
Local storage on your phone and iCloud storage are two different things. Not everything on your phone is necessarily in iCloud.
To control iCloud storage go to Settings > Apple-ID-your-name > iCloud and scroll down to see a list of APPS USING ICLOUD and make any appropriate changes. Note: not everything on your phone needs to be in iCloud. You only need critical items that you would want to recover in the event of failure.
Storage on your phone is controlled by Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Then scroll down to see the apps that are consuming your storage (highest storage usage first).
Then go into the highest usage apps and delete any obsolete data. Note: many podcasts and videos can be downloaded again if you wish to view them in the future. Completing this task may free up enough local storage to solve your problem.
