Pages will not autosave any content until you formally save the document with a meaningful name. Failing to do that and rebooting the laptop lost all of your work, and it is not recoverable. Had you given the document a name and saved it just once, Pages would have autosaved additional input, and the Time Machine backup you should be running would have preserved that saved document for restore.
