So a little bit ago a lot of my photos were moved to Google Photos. Now it's really difficult to upload photos for assignments or even trying to find them. I don't know what to do, but I just want all of my photos to be moved back to my Gallery. I dont know what happened and I really need help.

Your photos sync with Google Photos, but don't normally move there absent user intervention, such as deleting the photos from your phone, as Google Photos is supposed to be a backup location. You can re-download them to your phone, but it's tedious to do them one by one, unless you have very few. Otherwise, you will need to go to photos.google.com and then you can download them in a zip file to your phone or other device. Then you can upload them to your DCIM folder, and they will re-appear in Gallery.

Good solution. Would work faster if after downloading the zip file you connect your phone to a computer and unzip the file on your phone and move it to dcim. I think it will be faster that way.
