The phone screen does not need to be locked if doing iCloud Backup via the Backup Now option.

If you want it to backup automatically while it is charging, you can lock it via the right side button or do what I do and just let it lock itself based on the time selected in Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock.
