Lightroom photos exported to Google Drive then deleted from Lightroom now no longer in Google Drive.

I've exported photos out of Lightroom CC to Google Drive. I then go back into Lightroom and delete the photos and now they are not in Google Drive. Would deleting them from Lightroom also delete them from my Google Drive?

No. Once exported, the photos are decoupled from Lr.

Did you use the "Export" function, or by mistake "moved" the photos?
