Hey there, and welcome to Apple Support Communities haguirre,
We appreciate you reaching out to us about this matter and are here to help. We would like to ask you a couple of questions in order to get a better understanding. First, what exact version of iPadOS are you currently using? We ask as the menus and options can change slightly between versions of the OS, and we want to make sure we provide the most accurate steps. You can locate this by going to Settings > General > About. Also, does this issue occur when uploading documents to iCloud Drive on any other device? Finally, have you logged directly into iCloud website to see if the documents are still there? While you gather that information, we recommend checking out these steps for more information on how to upload your documents and see if everything matches up on your side.
