Does the credit card show a huge balance, adding up all the card
payments with none of the missing purchases?

Do the expense accounts themselves that the purchases were against
still exist or have the accounts themselves somehow got lost?

Rather than go back to the backup of a couple of weeks ago you should
be able to find the last working backup in the folder where the data
file is stored.  They are called something like <your accounts file
name>.<datetimestamp>.gnucash.  Having found the last one that works
have a look at the log files that come between it and the first that
is wrong and you may see what happened.
