Hear it in context

Notice where the phrase sounds natural.

Any data you don't use this month will roll over to the next month.

My phone plan's pretty good actually, because whatever data I don't use rolls over, so I never really run out.

Fix the pattern

One small grammar move makes it sound right.

Not: My unused data carries on to next month.

Say: My unused data rolls over to next month.

'Carry on' means continue doing something; for unused data or money moving into the next period, say 'roll over' (or 'carry over').
