First realize that there's phishing and spam email claiming pretty much everything these days. Don't necessarily believe what it says. I suspect this is phishing so certainly do not use any links in the email.
If ever in doubt about a communication’s authenticity, use an independent way through Apple's own resources for checking what the communication claims. Scams (e-mail, text messages, and phone calls) are getting very good at closely imitating true Apple communications. Always be cautious. These support articles have some guidelines:
