On Sunday, 2nd June 2024, I live streamed a 1 hour long class on my YouTube channel. In the past 7 such streaming successfully reflected on/in my YT channel. But this one never showed up on that channel. Where did that streamed video go? How do I retrieve it?

No one can answer your question... because
- did you actually stream to YouTube? [not think it did, know it did]... Where you watching a preview? someone else comment/see your livestream? etc?
I ask as some people see green light in OBS Studio and assume (incorrectly) all is well... all that means is connection to streaming CDN server (YouTube in your case)... it does NOT mean YouTube was able to process your stream... for that [green light from OBS Studio entire stream] you'd have to check YouTube logs, and ask them. I'd check your corresponding OBS Studio log first though

Did you also locally record in addition to Stream? [I always do as a backup]
If YouTube doesn't have video, and you didn't locally record, then unless you routed stream through another service which did Record video for you, I'd assume video is lost... but many other considerations regarding setup, so can't be 100% sure
