no, backup will not free up storage

go to settings, general, iphone storage

wait a few seconds, then appears “offload unused apps”, it shows how much you can free up

there might be also “review downloaded videos” in case you have some, there you can free up storage as well

if that was not enough, you might need to think about really to delete something to free up space, the list there shows you what needs how much space
