You haven't given much information to help with.


First, iCloud Photos is not a backup. iCloud Photos mirrors Photos on your phone. It is a good place to hold stuff from an old phone to import to a new phone. It's important, of course, that stuff not be erased on the old phone, and the erase mirrored at iCloud, before trying to restore data.


I would suggest you go to iCloud.com, sign in to your account, and see what's there. If you used iCloud Photos on your old phone, and if you didn't delete them from there, then you will see all the pictures at iCloud.com


Then be sure to sign in to the same account on your iPhone 18. Whatever pictures you saw at iCloud.com will fill the Photos Library on your 18.
