I went on My Flixer and a virus alert popped up, I clicked and downloaded and i went straight to the apple app store. I then downloaded a virus scanner that the website offered. I then payed to get premium. Once i used the features on premium i undid the payment and uninstalled the app? I’m an over thinker and feel i have a virus on my phone. What should I do? there nothing weird going on with my phone?

No, you do not have a virus on the phone.
You were scammed by a bogus popup message. All such messages are scams (100% of the time).
Remove the garbage App, but be certain you have not subscribed to any ongoing “support” from the app.
For future reference: close the offending page, and avoid sites that are involved in such bogus advertising tactics.
