See Empty/corrupt iTunes/Music library after upgrade/crash - Apple Community in case the library on your computer can be restored using local files and/or any backup you may have.


Otherwise see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - Apple Community. The easiest method may be a temporary subscription to the Apple Music service, merging the music on the device into an iCloud Music Library which you then download to a computer and backup for security.
