It sounds like someone is trying to access your Apple ID. Apple sends a verification code whenever a login attempt triggers 2FA. Since you didn’t request it, it could be a login attempt—or a spoofed call.

Make sure your password is strong, 2FA is on, and check your trusted devices. Don’t approve any codes you didn’t request.
