You bought iCloud storage, NOT iPhone storage. Your phone comes with a fixed amount of storage that is not upgradeable. You chose how much storage you wanted when you bought the phone. What you can do is offload some of your files/data from your iPhone to iCloud to free up some room on your device. Things like music, photos and such can be synced to iCloud and become available online.
