Hey I have some songs on my apple laptop 💻 can play them on my MacBook but they don’t show up in my phone on Apple Music. I didn’t subscribe to Apple Music but I own the songs that I made and they won’t show up on my phone although syncing is already set up. Is this normal? Do I have to buy a subscription to listen to my own music from my laptop on my phone?

You do not need to have an Apple Music subscription if you manually sync your Music Library on your Mac with your phone. The iCloud subscription just does it for you automatically.
Review the support article to make sure syncing is set up correctly:
Sync music between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you are relying on WiFi syncing, it may have been disabled and you will need to enable it again using the USB connection.
Sync content between your Mac and iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch over Wi-Fi - Apple Support
