Thanks for the peace of mind everyone! Definitely had a freak out moment
It is nearly impossible to hack an iPhone unless it is Jailbroken. The pop up notification that you saw was fake. Cancel out of the notification and close out the website that you may have been visiting.

It, and all such messages are scams presented by criminals. Do not interact with the message or the sender. Do not download anything based on a popup message.
Phony "tech support" / "ransomware" popup… - Apple Community
So long as you didn't click on a link and volunteer any information, you're fine.
Clear your browsing history (Settings > Safari, clear history and website data)
Ignore the message; don't click on links.
You have not been hacked. It's just a scam.
If you didn’t click on the website, and download any app, you should be fine.
You are welcome.
Stay alert ……. You will see other such bogus messages. You just need to remember that the messages are bogus.
You are good to go. No worries.
