Documents folder is missing after using iCloud drive

This is what I did

\-went into settings -> iCloud drive and turned it on for Desktop & Documents

\-then I realized that it was uploading 300GB which I don't have in my iCloud

\-so went back into settings and turned iCloud drive back off with only a GB may be uploaded

\-then I went into shock because thought all my files were gone

\-Then I figured it out just moved the iCloud documents folder to my local downloads folder

\-but now my documents folder is in my downloads folder. I went into Macintosh HD->users->me-> documents. But this documents folder is acting weird. When trying to create a new folder or move my stuff from the downloads-documents folder I get An unexpected error occurred (error code -43).
