Why am I having a billing problem when I didn’t buy anything

I can’t update my apps anymore or download anything, it keeps asking for a payment method and “none” only popped up once and it hasn’t since, Everytime I try it keeps going through the same cycle of having me log in with my Apple ID to billing info, but it only shows PayPal or card, it keeps saying there’s a issue with a transaction but I didn’t make any transaction.
