Insert in paper space then you can't see in model space, that's how it works.

Yes drawing is there as when I use SELECT ALL,the objects are selected I am
lost in the space maybe because too many zooms,

Hey,

Probably they are zoomed out very far. Try zoom extents by double clicking your roller mouse or typing Z enter, then E for extents.

Why are you inserting DWG files into layouts? Are your DWG files show content that is no bigger than a sheet of paper in size?
Or do you need help using both XREFs and LAYOUTS/Viewports in AutoCAD?

Let us know.

Are you able to view the drawing in a viewport in a layout?

Most likely you have some stray geometry, for example something at 0,0 while the bulk of your geometry is in the thousands, etc.  Try using zoom center and entering a known good coordinate, then zoom out slowly till you see the extents of what you expect.  Then carefully enter erase all, enter R for remove, then window the good parts.
