Did I get hacked??
I got a text verification code 2 times last night. Does that mean someone was trying to sign in to my account? How can I find out who it was?

It could mean that. See the following from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915
When you sign in on a new device, you’ll get a notification on your other trusted devices that includes a map showing the approximate location of the new device. This is an approximate location based on the IP address the device is currently using, rather than the exact location of the device. The location shown might reflect the network you're connected to, and not your physical location.
If you know you’re the person trying to sign in but you don’t recognize the location shown, you can still tap Allow and continue signing in. However, if you ever see a notification that your Apple ID is being used to sign in on a new device and you're not the one signing in, tap Don’t Allow to block the sign in attempt.
In connection with the material from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID:
In this regard, you can Check your Apple ID device (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205064) and remove any device that shouldn't be signed in using the steps in the link.
If there are none that shouldn’t be signed in, then you should not have a problem at this point. But, if an unauthorized device is signed in, Change your Apple ID password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201355 to a strong one (See Security and your Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201303).

Someone is seeming your credentials. Apple will not send you a message out of nowhere regarding a login.

c, (In the U.S. Only): When getting calls Report Phishing Scam Calls at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov
II. Modify Your Credentials:

II. Unexpected Mail:
With Security & Privacy being of High-Concern here, consider modifying your credentials, immediately. Pefroming the following is best at this point. So, Consider...
You can't find out who it was. Someone may be trying to sign your Apple ID, which would generate the request for a verification code. Since you have 2 Factor Authentication enabled, as long as they can't access one of your trusted devices, they can't get a code, and sign in. You should be okay.
It also means that if they got as far as triggering 2FA they already know your password. Immediately change your Apple ID password. See link below.
