Macbook Pro keeps changing files

Either on my MacBook Pro from 2020 or iCloud keeps changing my files completely so I search for the name of a document or picture or a video and instead a random photograph appears with that file name it is completely messing up my filing system and I’m losing a lot of files. Sometimes files will not open or videos will not play. I never had this problem before and I don’t know why this is happening.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.6
