Troubleshooting iPhone Device Storage:

No. Try Removing Data from the iPhone itself...

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support

So, what to do...

Your Device Storage and iCloud Storage are two different things. Your Device Storage is used to store all of your content, such as messages, photos, videos, mail, files, app data, etc. Your iCloud Storage is used to sync your data across your devices and stores backups. iCloud Storage can be increased, while Device Storage cannot. Since you are running out of storage, that means you purchased an iPhone with inadequate storage for you. Next time buy an iPhone with more storage then you think you’ll need.

You can't; it's on Apple's servers, not inside the iPhone.
