I kept getting a pop up to update my password for my Gmail account in settings. I kept ignoring it but finally went in and updated my password. As soon as I did all my notes I had on my phone were gone. There was a new empty folder for my Gmail notes, but everything I had prior is gone. My iCloud storage is full so when I go to iCloud.con and check notes it’s empty. There is no recently deleted folder on my notes app. How do I get them back?

Are your Notes housed in gmail? It sounds like they are. Check Settings > Notes > Accounts > Gmail.
If so, try the former password.
If the notes are housed in iCloud:
My notes are not housed in Gmail. What happened is once I updated the password to my Gmail account to my settings, all my notes disappeared. I previously had a ton of notes on my iPhone with no Gmail account ever attached. The email attached to my iCloud and Apple ID is an old hotmail account I have access to, that shows notes still on.
Edit: this is what I see since adding gmail.
Appears notes are not housed in iCloud. My notes section on iCloud.com is empty, and there is no deleted folder.
This is all I see on the iCloud site and both folders are empty.
Lost all of my notes
