probably your website is hacked.
The first thing to do is:
- if you still have access to your website and can log in, try to
put it in maintenance mode (you can use any free plugin). - change your password and delete any unknown user.
- if your hosting has a Malware Removal Service, use it to clean up
your site. - if not, then 5
- try to update your themes and plugins.
- re-install WordPress (I prefer manually using FTP)
- Re-install the plugins
- reinstall the theme
- Clean out your database
- use a security tool.
To make sure your website is hacked, you can use this tool: https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/
