I just received a computer phone call that my iCloud account was hacked. All they wanted was for me to press numbers to get it fixed. How does iCloud notify me if I'm hacked, or ? Please advise.

Apple does not make such calls.

All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
