It's possible that Apple is or was having server-related problems during the time you were attempting to restore your device. Anyway, what you can do is make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer, make sure the computer is connected to the internet with a stable internet connection, make sure your USB/Lightning cable is not damaged, and you can restart your computer and router.

This exact thing happened to me last week. I just waited awhile and tried it again and it eventually went through fine
