It's typical FB phising/malware and can be seen multiple times throughout the platform's lifespan.

 

It starts out with a link sent from a contact. Seemingly, just a usual link leading to a popular site. However, clicking on it will lead you to a "copy" of that site asking to login with your credentials. In other cases (depends on the people behind it), it may just drop you off at some "random" site, however should you interact with any elements there, execution of various scripts will be triggered with the same result as above.

 

Your FB account in this case is compromised and probably gone for good. For starters, secure your computer. Run some anti malware checks to see whether your machine got infected too.

 

After you're done with that, message facebook support. You'll have to prove to them that it is your account and it is been compromised. They might lock it down and re give you access to it soon. Simultaneously, try to contact some friends and let them know not to click the link your account is sending to them via messages. 

 

Essentially, you fell for a scam and they got control of your account, just like the account that messaged you. Should your friends do the same, they will achieve similar results.

 

Good luck.
