I have a single replica set having 3 mongod instance, collection in this instance has data already.
I want to convert this instance to sharded cluster. I followed Convert a Replica Set to a Sharded Cluster but when I access my mongod at the end of the setup it doesn't show the existing data.
Any suggestions?

This point your collection is still there, sitting on original location with all data. You still need to shard your collections, which data is needed to "spread" to other shards (nodes).
