Text that my Apple ID is locked

i got a text saying my Apple ID is locked and so is my account because of unknown login... when I clicked on link to reset it- I was sent to a page that said if I continued to click on link, it might infect my phone... prob a scam, since I was able to login to support no problem?

That seems to be a scam/phishing email. Apple won't send you an email/text telling you your account is disabled/restricted  or will be disabled/restricted. You will find out the next time you try to log in somewhere.
