Backing Up iPhone to iCloud, in Full:
This is not an option. See here: What does iCloud Back Up? - Apple Support
So, read the following...
Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:
Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support. So, you'll just have to clear space, and then perform the upgrade.
So, what to do:
Clear Space:
Try clearing internal storage though use of the following:
What Space to Clear:
A. Clear Temporary Internet Files:
Clear your Temporary Internet Files(Cookies & Cache) of Safari:
And...
B. Clean TV and Music Libraries:
Remove all unneeded files from your TV and Music Libraries. Full-Movies take up 2-4GB typically, and a bunch of those would take up a load of storage, ideally. So, if you have any movies that are not needed, then delete them.
And...
C. "Other" being the Culprit:
Use this Link: How to Check the Storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support. The storage named "Other" is the grey bar. So, to clear that, this is what to perform: Clear Other storage on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
If you had enabled iCloud for Photos / Notes / Voice Memos / Videos / Reminders etc and have deleted some or all data from one device then it is deleted from iCloud and all other devices logged in with the same Apple ID.
