Possible Apple ID hacking

So last night I fell asleep using my phone on YouTube and it was running in the background and I woke up to a notification saying that an Apple Watch was using my Apple ID and my phone/FaceTime or something along those lines. There was no other option than to press okay I changed my password signed in and out after I checked that there was no other devices associated with my ID and I just got another one while asking this after all that. I do have an Apple Watch but it’s been connected this whole time.

Create a strong password for your Apple ID, It is best if your password consists of eight or more characters and include upper and lowercase letters, and at least one number. You can also add extra characters and punctuation marks to make your password even stronger. 

Never provide your password, passcode, security questions, verification codes, recovery key or any other account security details to anyone else. Apple will never ask you for this information.
