There are 2 parts to the answer. First, if you back up to iCloud, see→Restore your iOS device from a backup - Apple Support.
Next, if you SYNC to iCloud (which is not the same as backing up to iCloud) on the new phone go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud and turn on the switches for data you want to sync.
Further explanation: iCloud+ has 2 independent functions. iCloud backups, and iCloud sync. It’s confusing because they both have the same name prefix. But they have no connection with each other. Go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud. You will see a bunch of switches (with iOS 16 also tap Show All). When you turn on a switch that data type will sync to iCloud. If you do this on multiple devices that share an Apple ID the selected data will sync to all of those devices.
