Call says my Apple ID was compromised

I keep getting a phone call that says my Apple ID has been compromised. I changed my password should that be enough?

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.
