If it was data you were syncing to iCloud, have you gone to Settings/Your Name, signed in with the same Apple ID, and turned iCloud syncing on? The iCloud sync is very slow. The photos sync is extremely slow. It could take several days or more for the photos to sync.
If it was data you had backed up to iCloud, have you restored the backup? Restoring from a backup erases all data currently on your device. Any data newer than when the backup was made will be erased. A restore is an all or nothing restore. You can't access a back and only restore certain files.
Backup - Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
