Fix iCloud Deleted All My Desktop And Documents Files

I updated my macOS, and when I try to access an Open or Save dialog, it keeps crashing. So I went to the iCloud system preferences and unchecked Desktop and Documents, but only to find all my files were gone. Are there any possible ways to fix this?
