How can I free the storage on my phone and use the storage on my iCloud?

My phone says I have 5Gb of iCloud storage. I have 4.8Gb free. My phone itself has no more space and when I download it tells me I need to sort out my settings. How can I manage my storage so that is is all saved to my iCloud rather than my phone so that I have memory for new apps or music?

You can't use iCloud to expand the space on your phone.  iCloud is designed to sync your data across all your devices, not to save your data to free up space on your device.  The only exception to this is if you subscribe to iTunes Match, which would make your iTunes music library through iCloud without having to store it all on your phone.
If you need to free up space on your phone, you'll have to sync something off it to free up space, or import some or all of your photos and vidoes to your computer and delte them from your phone, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
