The latest patch notes for 1.3.0.5 recommend not saving the world to the cloud as there are currently issues with the cloud save functionality for worlds that may result in data loss. It sounds like you hit one of these issues. The game creators mentioned that you most likely wont be able to restore any of the data and to switch to local world saves instead to prevent any further data loss/corruption along with making backup copies of your worlds while they look into the saving issues.
