I have an iPhone 11 and I got a message on my calendar that said my phone had been hacked and a virus is detected. That my phone will be locked in 11 hours. Is this a scam and what should I do?

Hi
This is calendar spam - so yes, a scam, and you don't have any virus.
If you have iOS 13 or earlier versions, check: Settings - Passwords & Accounts - Accounts - Check for any accounts that you don't recognise - remove them if there are.
If you have iOS 14, check: Settings - Calendar - Accounts - Check for any accounts that you don't recognise - remove them if there are.

Open Calendar App from the Home screen.
Next, tap the Calendars button at the bottom.
You should now notice a section called On My iPhone with several suspicious calendars listed below it. ...
Tap on the i button next to the suspicious calendar.
