Make sure you have set up your iPhone backup regime correctly. You didn't mention whether or not your iPhone was connected to a power source, which is one of the requirements. Follow Apple's instructions in How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iCloud:
Automatically back up with iCloud Backup
Follow these steps to set up iCloud Backup to automatically back up your device each day:
- Make sure iCloud Backup has been turned on in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup.
- Connect your device to a power source.
- Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
- Make sure your device’s screen is locked.
- If you get an alert says that you don’t have enough iCloud storage space to complete the backup, follow the onscreen steps to buy more storage
Force a backup
You can force a backup when the first three conditions above are met and by touching on Back Up Now in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup
