You cannot upload photos to iCloud drive or to iCloud directly. iCloud Photo Library is what is you would want if you want to store your photos in iCloud:

iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support

iCloud Photo Library Help - Apple Support

It is a bit confusing, but iCloud is where you store your backups of your device, iCloud Drive is where you store your documents, and iCloud Photo Library is where you store your photos.
