I got an email that said my apple id was locked because of too many unknown sign in's. I clicked on the website and entered my password along with my apple id then after I realized that the email was fake. I quickly then changed my password, is possible they got my personal data?

It sounds like all they got is your user ID and password, which you've changed so you'll be OK.

It is phishing. In a message Apple will always address you by your real name, never by your email address or Dear Customer. Also the sent-from address should be @apple.com or @itunes.com Additionally Apple does not send attachments.
