Does anyone know if the additional tax credit was included in our refund or did we need to file for that separately?

What additional tax credit?  There are some that haven't been approved  yet by congress.

What additional tax credit are you referring to?

If you think there is an increased child tax credit, nothing has been passed by the Congress nor signed into law.

ENHANCED CHILD TAX CREDIT BILL

As of now, the child tax credit for 2023 is still $2000, with a refundable “additional child tax credit “ amount of up to $1600.

No one here knows if or when the proposed enhanced child tax credit bill will pass.  It has gone through the House  of Representatives and is now in the Senate—where 100 senators will decide whether to pass it.  It has not been passed or signed into law. 

Look at your 2023 Form 1040 to see the child-related credits you received
