I got a phone call from someone saying they were Apple support saying that my Apple ICloud has been breached by someone in another country. I want to check to see if this is something that really happened.

iPhone X, iOS 14

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 ignore the calls or hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
