Sounds like your account is compromised.

I would recommend changing your password immediately - and make it a strong one.

You probably clicked on a link that was either in a tweet, mention or direct message, reset your password and make sure no rogue apps are installed, you should be good after you done that. You might want to use a anti-spam service like Lionytics to prevent spam from send or received.
