Erasing the phone is unavoidable, but if you have a current backup of your phone, you can use that to restore the data after the phone is erased/reset.
If you don't want to use a computer to reset your phone, you can try using this Apple Support document:

i dont want to i dont have any backup what can i doo
Unfortunately, you have learned a painful lesson about the importance of backing up your phone on a regular basis.
With no backup, you have nothing to restore to the phone after it is erased.
