Normally one would recover lost items from their Time Machine (or other) backup disk.
What version macOS were you using before you upgraded to Catalina?
Have you possibly enabled iCloud sync for the Desktop and Documents folders?
Add your Desktop and Documents files to iCloud Drive - Apple Support
❝When you add your Desktop and Documents to iCloud Drive, all of your files move to iCloud and any new files you create are automatically stored in iCloud too. Then you can find your files on all of your devices.
Your files sync with iCloud each time your device connects to the internet. Depending on your internet speed, the time it takes for you to see your files on your other devices might vary.
