If you are using Messages in iCloud, once you delete a message, you can't get it back. See:

How to delete messages in iCloud - Apple Support

If not, then you will have to restore your iPhone from a backup that has those messages:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

Be aware that restore is an all or nothing process. You cannot restore only messages (for example) and any information on your iPhone between now and when the backup was created will be lost after the restore.
