Help!! Files automatically disappeared from my Macbook

Help! Recently, while I was going through my important files on my MacBook, I noticed that all the folders were present, but when I checked in all the folders, my files were nowhere to be found. I couldn’t locate my files anywhere, even when searching using Spotlight. I checked the hidden folder, but there were no hidden files. I have a MacBook M2 Air 512GB, and this is the first time this has happened. Could anyone please help me recover my important documents?
