If you use iCloud Photos, you cannot upload photos to iCloud and delete them from the phone. iCloud Photos is a syncing service, not off device storage. If you delete photos on one device, they are deleted on every device using iCloud Photos including in iCloud itself.
Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
What happens when you edit or delete photos
When you edit or delete photos or videos, the changes are reflected across all of your devices.
