Hi there!
You cannot download apps on your Apple device(as your storage is full) because you have purchased iCloud plan of 200 GB, you can only store backups, photos, messages etc. on iCloud and not your apps. As of right now there is no way to expand the storage of an Apple Device.
Your only solution is to delete unwanted apps and files or trade in your device for a new Apple device.
