I removed myself from family sharing. Will I get charged?
I removed myself from family sharing to go to separate plan mainly for music. Since I left, will my card stop being charged from that account?

There are inconsistencies in what you say which make it difficult to assess your situation and how to answer. Unless you were the organizer for the family your card could never have been charged for anything since regular family members can only pay with Apple Account balance or have the organizer pay for their things. If you were the organizer you didn't "leave" the family, the entire family had to have been disbanded.
The payment method for Family Sharing is automatic:
1. If anybody in the family buys or subscribes to something, Apple first attempts to charge the item to that individual's Apple ID balance, if any.
2. If a family member does not have enough personal balance, any excess will be charged to the Family Organizer's primary payment method (usually a card of some kind). The Organizer's personal balance will not be used for purchases made by other family members. If it cannot bill the primary payment method then it will just work its way down the Organizer's list of payment methods until it finds one it can.
- "Some purchases, including gifts, can't be billed to Apple ID balance and will be charged to the family organizer's payment method." "Some subscriptions might not be charged to Apple ID balance."
