If your page is a Custom Page template then you have initialise a custom query. WordPress's default query won't work in a custom page template.

You can do that query using WP_Query Class : https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

Or get_posts() : https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts

I'd suggest the earlier one.
