Suddenly Missing Contacts and Duplicate & Triplicate Contacts

My contacts suddenly duplicated and triplicated and some are even completely gone. Names and photos are all gone and just phone numbers listed when I get texts etc. I have turned the phone off and on several times. Checked with my iCloud account and they are the same. My iPhone X, iPad and Computer are all the same. I tried restoring contacts but nothing changed. How do I get my missing contacts back?
