Messages is not one of the built-in apps that can be deleted. See: Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 11 device or Apple Watch - Apple Support


One possibility is that the app is on a subsequent home screen or in a folder. You may want to try searching to see if you can find it. You can open search by dragging down starting from the middle of the home screen.
