If you have been making regular backups of your old iPhone, you should be able to recover the contacts when you setup your new iPhone. See step 5 in:

Set up your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


You should also put your old iPhone in Lost Mode:

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen - Apple Support
