I installed Ubuntu on my PC and by accident it formatted my whole hard drive. I can pick the hard drive up with Windows and everything but its basically formatted. Is there a way I can restore it using Ubuntu?

I recommend you use Testdisk for this purpose. https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step

I am a real beginner in this topic. Once I lost my partitions while playing with windows diskpart and Testdisk helped me out.
I recommend you to boot your PC with a USB stick. As far as I know this prevents data loss, because your OS might be writing on the Disk and by doing so, overwrite some data.
