That is a Scam:

That is a Phishing scam, and you fell for it. Seeing "change [your] password due to data leaks" tells me that is a ransomeware attack. So, report this to Apple.


Reporting this to Apple:

Apple needs to see this themselves to know what is long on here. So, report it to Apple. To do so, show them this screenshot. See my User Tip: Using the Photos App to Report Scams: - User Tip


Unexpected Messages:

Apple would not send you a message about your account out of no where. Someone is seeking your credentials.  So, having clicked on it, most certainly consider modifying your credentials, Immediately. Pefroming the following is best at this point.
