Today, I went to look up something on Safari on my IPad and while I was on the page on Safari that I was visiting and looking at, I notice that in the search bar, it has the warning that said “Not Secure”. Does this mean that my IPad will get a virus or malware or hacked? I’m scared and worried right now. What do I do?

Correct. That's what the warning is for: to alert you to the fact any information that website sends or receives is not encrypted, and can conceivably be intercepted.
There is nothing wrong with viewing those websites. Many of them are "not secure" simply because they don't contain any particularly sensitive information.
So if I didn’t type any personal information in there, I should be okay, right? Right now, I’m scared about it.
