I’m 100% sure my phone is hacked what do I do?

So there’s not a ton I can tell you for privacy reasons but the gist of it is I looked at my camera roll of a picture of my friend to post on social media and there was a video next to it that I didn’t take. It has writing on it in another language, possibly Russian or maybe some sort of other Asian language idk. I swear I couldn’t make this up if I tried. What do I do?

It’s an iPhone 6s for whatever that might count for

I'd recommend backing up your phone to iCloud, and if it is an unlocked phone go ahead and factory reset it. If it is a phone under a major provider, take it to your closest carrier location and let them dilly dally with it.

Wipe your phone, change your social media passwords

I would also recommend not changing the passwords of any account on that device just as a precaution. Use another device to change your passwords.

Maybe you're in a whatsapp group or something, and someone might have posted a video in one of those. WhatsApp usually autosaves videos and pictures on your phone.
