Troubleshooting iCloud Photos:

I. No. There is no way to FORCE Upload Photos to iCloud. If there are thousands to update, then not that it will take a long time to upload.

II. Syncing through iCloud:

Was Photos enabled in iCloud Settings on this iPhone? If so, enable Photos in iCloud on your other Apple devices, and see if the data shows up. If your iPhone has items synced with iCloud on them, then they should pop right up.

Enabling iCloud Photos on an iPhone:

1. Go to: Settings
2. Tap: Your Name (Top Item)
3. Tap: iCloud
4. Tap: Photos (so that it is green)

III. iCloud+ Apple Plan and Pricing:

You only have 5GB free of iCloud. so, if that is not enough storage, then they simply will not go past that. So, consider upgrading your iCloud Storage:. Go Here: iCloud+ Plans and Pricing - Apple Support.  Scroll down to see your prices, and if it is a variable in your country/region.

IV. Other Things to Try:

A. Start here: If you're Missing Photos or Videos in the Photos app - Apple Support

B. Check iCloud, Directly:

Go here, and see if they reside in iCloud: https://www.icloud.com/photos

C. Where Else to Check:

1. PC
2. PDA
3. eMail
4. Mac Device
5. Cloud Storage
6. Android Phone
7. USB Flash Drive
8. External Hard drive
9. Secure Digital Card
10. Compact Flash Card

If you do not have he device, there is no way to get pictures from it. If you were syncing to iCloud, any photos synced will download to your new device if you log into iCloud. Those are also visible at iCloud.com

Finding a Photo on your PC:

Type the name of one of these photos in the search box when you click the Start Menu. Does anything pop up? This search box is on the bottom-right corner of the Start Menu.

Use Windows Photos: Search photos and videos by location in Windows Photos | Microsoft

Then it will depend on where you copied the photos from your phone to your PC. Or, if you reatained an old backup and saved it somewhere else (desktop, etc)
