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.

I received a call indicating that it was from Apple indicating that there was a security breach of my iCloud information from: 1(800)476-2446. I discontinued the call while I was on hold giving out no information...was the call valid? If it was valid, what measures do I need to take to secure my information? If it was not valid, who do I report this call to?
It was not valid.
Reporting it to anyone is pointless, as the criminals use number spoofing to pretend to be calling from a legitimate business. The numbers change all the time.
