Generally, unless you have intentionally chosen to save a download elsewhere, your downloaded files will be in your Downloads folder. This is easily found in the sidebar of the iPad's Files App:





You can set the default location for downloaded files within iPad settings:

Settings > Apps > Safari > [General] Downloads - select from iCloud Drive, On My iPad or Other...


If you select Other, you can choose any folder to which you can navigate.
