You have been Scammed:

So, report the messages' info to Apple and modify*** your credentials.

A. Report this to Apple and Others:

Use my User: Using the Photos App to Report Scams - User Tip

B. ***Modifying your Credentials:

Having been stollen, someone likey has your credentials. So, by all means, consider modifying them, starting with a new password.

• Modify: your login credentials (Using Both a New eMail and a New Password for each and all sites)
• Associate: a different method of payment to your account
• Enable: Two-Factor Authentication for Apple ID and for all other accounts that have such an applicable option

Also...

C. Verify Your Devices:

Verify that your the devices logged in to your account or officially yours, by using this link: Check your Apple ID Device List to See where you're Signed in - Apple Support

Unless they have your password, you have nothing to worry about.

Get rid of any antivirus apps A.S.A.P. because they are the ones that typically cause panics and other serious issues.

You will find that without that extra, your Mac will run smoother than it has ever been.
