There’s been a few posts lately of launcher disappearing. Most likely everyone suffered from the same update which introduced a bug. When you boot your computer choose from the grub menu “Advanced options for Ubuntu”. From the submenu select the next oldest kernel version that works.
Other than that check these Q&As:
- Unity doesn't load, no Launcher, no Dash appears
- Ubuntu 16.04 - Unity doesn't load - no Launcher or Dash appears
- No launcher and menu bar on ubuntu 16.04
- Ubuntu Menu and Launcher not showing after 2/16/2018 update
- Ubuntu 16.04 Unity does not load - icons and not displayed

After answer was accepted a comment was made how system worked in recovery mode. If that’s the case try the solution in this answer:
Open a terminal and use:
rm -rf ~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/*
sudo reboot
When rebooting select the most recent kernel rather than the older recovery option.
