Enable Contacts in iCloud:

Is Contacts enabled in iCloud on your iPhone's settings? If not, then enable it, seeing if they all come back. If so, then disabled it, and then enable it, seeing if they all come back.

On the iPhone:

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
  3. Tap: iCloud
  4. Tap: Contacts (so that it is green in-color)
