The email you have received is a scam - intended to obtain Credit Card and personal information with which to commit fraud:
Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support
If you are actually running short of available iCloud storage space, you will not receive an email from Apple - but will instead see a notification within iPad settings, from where you can directly subscribe to a different iCloud+ storage plan if needed:
Upgrade to iCloud+ - Apple Support

It’s a big topic with lots of information on the internet.
