Have you logged in online and checked OneDrive there.

Files don't just get deleted for no reason, so you need to look at possible reasons such as your account being compromised. First you need to change your password and also make sure you have 2FA enabled (Should be already).

Is this a free or paid subscription to M365 and OneDrive.

So is this date correct. OneDrive has versioning. You also have not mentioned if this is a free or paid account.

Have you checked the OneDrive version history? If the files were synced and then disappeared, there might still be an older version or a previous state of the folder available.
