Unless you used custom configuration, only the Public part is uploaded.
To be able to SSH from host A to host B you need to have Private key on host A and public key on host B. In case of Windows/Linux - Windows, presumably, has the private key. In case of two cloud images, my guess is, they only have public keys.

So I’m running two cloud init Ubuntu VM’s, to ssh from VM 1 to VM 2, do I need to have the private key of VM 1 on VM 2? As I’ve already got my windows ssh key imported on VM 1 & 2 so connecting to ssh through my windows works fine. Its just I want to ssh into vm 2 from vm 1, I hope that makes sense
Depending on your Windows client you may be able to use SSH agent. This will allow you to avoid spreading the private key around. Without it, you need to have private key part of the pair on whichever host you are ssh'ing from.
None of this is part of PVE installation and Configuration, just basic SSH management with multiple articles describing it available on the Net.

So how would I go about ssh from Ubuntu cloud vm 1 into Ubuntu cloud 2? , I’m still quite new to cloud init and that’s all I need help with my ssh from windows into both cloud VMs is fine just vm to vm
Securely: use SSH Agent
Insecurely: copy private SSH key to VM1

Perhaps few of these can help:

PS your inquiry has very little to do with Cloud Init

Wherever your Private key is located.
Based on what you have posted so far - Windows for you.
