My name-servers are correct and I did not change anything but my site suddenly started showing DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN. I am using Google Cloud Platform to host the site - "Wordpress: Click to deploy". My domain is : Example.cf.

This is mostly like a DNS configuration error, also note your question is missing the information on DNS details. That is not a problem though, you can use dig +trace to find the name servers.

You domain is not resolving to an IP address, therefore there is no way for users to hit your wordpress site.

$dig example.cf +short
$dig www.example.cf +short

Both queries returned nothing. Tracing your dns returns Google's name servers, and directly querying those name servers returns nothing.

example.cf.      300     IN      NS      ns-cloud-c1.googledomains.com.
example.cf.      300     IN      NS      ns-cloud-c2.googledomains.com.
example.cf.      300     IN      NS      ns-cloud-c3.googledomains.com.
example.cf.      300     IN      NS      ns-cloud-c4.googledomains.com.

$dig @ns-cloud-c1.googledomains.com. example.cf. +short

Make sure to point your domain to the IP address of your web server. If you are using GCP cloud dns, use this link - https://cloud.google.com/dns/docs/quickstart - to setup dns.
