You can only see them on one of your Apple devices; you cannot view them at www.icloud.com. See the following from Keep your messages up to date with iCloud - Apple Support


When you set up iCloud for Messages, your messages are stored in the cloud, with only the most recently accessed Messages stored locally on your device. You can see them on any device that’s set up for iCloud and Messages, including your iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
