You should keep your WAL files from the master for at least as long as the
slave might be offline (plus startup time), somewhere the slave can copy them
from when needed (shared file system, object store, scp target, whatever).
See the postgresql.conf parameter archive_command and the corresponding
recovery.conf parameter restore_command.

It would be really helpful if you included PostgreSQL version and O/S in your problem description, but since you have not, I will give a "generic" fix.
It is doubtful, but you can check the pg_xlog on the master for the "missing" WAL files and if they are there, simply rsync them to the standby.
If you are truly missing WAL files in your slave/standy, then you need to rebuild the slave as per standard procedures.

Make sure you change wal_keep_segments value on the master to be sufficiently highly so that the problem does not occur again.
Once you make the change, be sure to reload the config file on the master
Either
SELECT pg_reload_conf();
SELECT pg_reload_conf();
or
pg_ctl reload -D your_data_dir
