Hello,

It seems like that the real problem is that you are out of local storage, not iCloud storage.

Local storage on your phone and iCloud storage are two different things.  Not everything on your phone is necessarily in iCloud.  

About storage on your device and in iCloud

You need to free up local storage immediately or your phone will become unusable:

How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch 

How to Clear Space from your Mobile Device, and What to Clear

Note: deleted photos are not necessarily deleted from the phone.  You may have to go to Photos > Albums > Recently Deleted and delete them from there to truly free up storage.

Then restart your phone. 

Good luck.
