I've built a project in WebStorm and then submitted the project to GitHub.

When I rebooted the computer and relaunched WebStorm (and the project), all I can see in the project pane is the root files, and none of the folders (yes the folders are there)

See the image below for reference.

Does anyone know how I can get those folders to re-appear in the project pane of Webstorm?

It can be caused by the corrupted .idea/modules.xml project file. You can either try to fix it manually (restore from Local History, version control or backup) or create the new project from scratch.

Check this issue for the hints/workarounds.
