Unfortunately you need to download the files first - and then upload. 

As a work around, are they still on your phone on camera roll? You could use Camera Uploads to auto upload them to Dropbox which would then allow you to delete from iCloud. Note that they'd need to be on the device itself, however for this to work. They'd also not auto delete once uploaded, but, you can manually do that afterwards to recover the local space.
