My menu bar is not displaying the time, battery, nor many other things that are usually present. The settings for everything are turned on, there's just something wrong with the bar, I think.
This is how the menu bar currently looks,
and this is how it normally looks. I'm not sure what's wrong.

hmmm....
old issue, new issue, what changed?
Did you try making some changes to your settings, and then come back to your preferred settings?
To trouble shoot further you can:
—A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
unplug all third party peripherals when testing
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS
