my photos disappeared out of nowhere and I can't find them or get them back. I never deleted them but for some reason I don't have them anymore.

Troubleshooting Lost Photos:
Loss of data is something you would have agreed to upon opening an Apple Account. So, if the following does not work, then they are gone. That's just the way is is.
Four Tactics to Try:
A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support
B. Check iCloud Directly:
See if they reside in iCloud Photos. Log in here: https://www.icloud.com/photos
C. Use a Time Machine Backup:
Did you backup your Mac, recently? If so, then restore your Mac from that. You'd backup you Mac prior to doing so, and then restore your data from the backup you just created, through use of Migration Assistant.
D. Where Else to Check:

Have you changed your Apple ID on the device? Please log back in with the old Apple ID. They are probably still stored in your iCloud associated wth the Apple ID.
