Phone is broken and I cannot get into it and I need to get contacts transferred to my new phone, apparently they were never backed up on icloud. I can power up broken phone but screen is too damaged for me to sign into it!!

No contacts aren't part of the backup, as they are synced to whatever mail or cloud program you use. You can log onto said accounts on a web browser and go to contacts to see if it is there.

If so, then on your new phone sign into said account and turn on contacts.

Thanks, I tired that to no avail. Is there no way that I can connect the 2 phones and transfer that way? I am at a loss and the apple store was no help!!!

Nope.
