Malcolm, sadly WX5 cannot import a generated website.
If you have an old iwzip file of the project this is the easiest way to recreate the site, other than this you will need to start again and you can copy and paste content from the online site into the new project
copy any photos or images and save locally
copy and paste text from the online site into individual text objects in the new project
use the ftp functionality of wx5 to copy any files required can quickly restore photos/images/documents/pdf's etc from the hosting to a local directory.
