Start by deleting the app. Find the app on your Home Screen or in the App Library, long-press on the icon, select Remove App, and then Delete App.
Now the app is gone. You say you installed it through an unofficial app store.
Go to
Settings > General > VPN & Device Management.
Find the certificate associated with the app you just deleted, and delete it. Now all traces of the app are gone. But as Bob also writes, it's probably just a pop-up fishing/scam. But it's always a good idea to keep your device free from unofficial software.

Your phone does not have a virus. The message that you saw was a scam trying to trick you into buying useless software or providing personal information.
By the way, you should know that the site that you were on that displayed the message was paid by the scammers to make it appear. Might be a good idea to avoid that site in the future.
So what happens if you try to delete the app?
