You didn't do anything stupid or imprudent. Your ID was locked because someone tried to sign into your Apple ID and used the wrong password too many times.
You can also add 2 Factor Authentication to your account for more security. If the attempts continue, you might want to consider a name change.
Link to contact Apple Support in the article.
