If you only have one domain (e.g. example.com), that domain should already exist on your account. If your existing website is simply a collection of files, meaning it is not using an application like wordpress, drupal, or phpBB, then you need to copy your website files to the public_html directory on your cPanel account. The copy can be done using tools like webdisk (WebDAV), FTP, or the file manager within cPanel.

If you have multiple domains, each with their own website, then you need to first add the domain to your cPanel account using the Addon Domains interface.

If your website is built using something like wordpress, drupal, or phpBB, it gets a bit more complicated. You could install a fresh copy of the application on your cPanel account, then transfer the application data and configuration. Or you could backup the application and restore it to your cPanel account. These options tend to be a bit more involved. If you are using an application as the foundation of your website you might be best serve by googling '<application name> transfer to cPanel account' or something similar.
