I just logged in after a few years to check my account and I saw that my character disappeared. But there is still number 1 on the realm for character. Can someone help me, please?

Inactivity Cleanup and Gold Squish for a healthier economy
If your character didn't meet the requirements to be deleted during the cleanup (below level 50), then it was deleted by a player, or you have logged into wrong account.
Characters deleted during Inactivity Cleanup can't be restored.
Characters deleted by users can be restored within certain time period. https://www.warmane.com/account/services
Just for the good measure, if you happened to play on Frostmourne season I or II, characters are gone. Season III characters can still be transferred (via services), but time wise it doesn't look like you played during season III.

I played on Icecrown from 2016 until 2020(I'm not sure exactly. Maybe more 2021). I was 80lvl, full gear pve and pvp. My nickname in the game was Forestghost. I think, when I check now, there is some character within the same name but different classes. I was Rogue. That guy is a Druid. But it's weird that it showed me that I have 1 character on Icecrown but when I logged in nothing is there. Can you please check and let me know? Thank you in advance

The number you see is local and irrelevant, it just means your local data isn't synchronized with the server because that number changes when a deletion is made from that computer. Either way, a character from that many years ago, even if not removed during a clean up would be way, way past the time period for a manual restoration, and that's the tool you'd have available.

So what should I do now?
When I checked in Armory and then searched for my character "Fremanda" It's still there
Fremanda 80 Undead Rogue Horde Icecrown

If it isn't in your account, it isn't yours. Might be someone who just got the same name (just like there's someone with the name you said at first), someone accessed your account due to account sharing or a weak password and sold it (that would show in your History), could be that you're just remembering wrong and the char in your account was deleted by someone accessing the account, but in the end of the day it's years too late.

Did you check wrong account?
You can check your WoW files if you didn't delete the files during your absence. WoW/WTF/Account/Accountname(s)/Realm(s)/Character(s).

I checked in History there is only for changing passwords but that was me. When I tried to log in first time yesterday after a few years I logged in with the same password I put before. That's my character 100% I checked gear, professions, and everything that I could in the Armory. I never gave to anyone my account and no one could access my account without me.

If that's your character and it isn't in an account you own, clearly someone did.
Characters don't get spontaneously moved to another account, the only way for that to happen is using Trade.
