Did I really lose all data? ubuntu will not boot after volume group ubuntu-vg not found

I have a Dell R-730xd with 6 16TB drives managed by PERC controller in a raid 5 array. I have been adding disks as I can and the 6th one came online today. So naturally I wanted to increase the file system size as I have done before. But today I screwed up somewhere.

I had Ubuntu 20.04.02 LTS running no problem before I did the following to try and expand the volume. No encryption. Now all I can get to is the initramfs shell as I get the error

Gave up waiting for root device, ubuntu--vg-root doesn't exist

I did run the gparted live and it shows unknown for sda3. It does see it but its just unknown. Hopefully someone can help me through this as I dont want to loose 48tbs of data. I booted to ubuntu live and thats where I am at as of now.

Below is the full output file from my ssh session where it all went wrong?.. the link below should allow you to download the text file.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Would of been a lot easier if I did not reboot..
