In general, you're out of luck. I don't know if Excel's auto save keeps
copies of unsaved workbooks, but even if it does, I've found it rather
unreliable if I really want to restore a document.

There's a free add-in you could try, by Jan Karel Pieterse of
http://jkp-ads.com, called AutoSafe. It stores a copy of every open workbook
(even the unsaved ones, I was happy to discover) in a directory on your hard
drive at an interval you specify. When it stores a new version, the old is
deleted to the recycle bin, so if you don't mind keeping the bin a little
full, you can keep a sequential archive of files on hand. I keep it running
all the time, and it's saved my butt a few times.

If you created a new Workbook, from scratch and closed it without saving,
you're SOL. If you opened an existing workbook and made some changes and
closed it without saving, then the original workbook still exists in the
original location without any changes.

If you never saved the work, there's no place to restore it from.
