I had a phone call on my home number that there was suspicious activity on my iCloud account. I didn't do anything but listen to the message. But, how do I find out if there is actually an issue going on?

Does Apple call when there is something suspicious going on with your iCloud? To be honest while it is set up and I am paying each month for additional storage, I have never gone out to pull something off it and wouldn't know how. So, if something is going on, it isn't being done by me.

I believe the phone call was BS but would like to ensure that it was. How?

It wa indeed BS.

Apple does not make such calls.

All such calls are scams from criminals attempting to steal your personal and financial information. The callers will often use number spoofing to pretend they are calling from a legitimate business. The correct course of action is to hang up on them, repeatedly if needed.
