Anything in iCloud is also on your Mac (unless you elected to optimize storage). Open the iCloud Drive folder and copy the files. Or, simply set up a Time Machine backup of your Mac to capture those files in a backup. If you optimize, and older files have been offloaded to the cloud: Those files will need to be downloaded first.
