Yes, if the phone was set to backup automatically, it is connected to power and WiFi, and nothing else is wrong with it. You can't actually tell it to do it but with automatic backups it should do it on its own.

In: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

see the section: "Automatically back up with iCloud Backup

To let iCloud automatically back up your device each day, here's what you need to do:

Make sure that iCloud Backup is turned on in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup.

Connect your device to a power source.

Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.

Make sure that your device's screen is locked.

Check that you have enough available space in iCloud for the backup."
