Let $C_4$ be a cycle with $4$ vertices. For an arbitrary graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and m edges say $m>nsqrt n$, how many $C_4$s exist? Is there a lower bound for this?

Yes, this is known. For $d = Omega(n^1/2)$ with a sufficiently large implicit constant, any $n$-node graph of average degree $d$ has $Omega(d^4)$ total $C_4$s.
This is best possible because it's realized by a random graph.
The earliest reference I'm aware of for this is "Cube-Supersaturated Graphs and Related Problems" by Erdos and Simonovits, where it's claimed without proof. There are many proofs out there, off the top of my head see Lemma 3 here.
