If you had a backup then when you buy your next iPhone and set it up you will be prompted to restore from your most recent iCloud backup.

If you had Messages turned on in your iCloud settings then again it should sync them from iCloud.

Settings, your name, iCloud, Messages, on

If you have another Apple device try turning on Messages in your iCloud settings.

Try it.
