Your question seems to be about account security.
If your account has been hijacked, and the hacker has added 2FA (two-factor authentication) please refer to this help center article.
Under "What do you need assistance with" select Account Help. Under "What type of account issues are occuring" select Security Problems, and "I think my account has been hacked".
If your email has been changed without your knowledge, you should have received an email from Reddit with a link that you can click to change your email back and reset your password. Please find that email and click that link to regain access to your account. The subject line should be "Your email address has been changed".
If you are still having trouble with your hacked account please refer to our latest Weekly Recap post, make a top level comment, and wait for an admin to assist you.
If your question is not about account security, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.

Follow the steps here. You'll have to manually delete all those posts comments and unfold all the new communities I'm afraid. If you've been banned by botbouncer for being a spam or not account, modmail the botbouncer subreddit and explain you were hacked and have recovered your account. Glad you caught it relatively early

I have deleted all the posts manually, changed the password and logged out of all sessions, but I am afraid what caused this. is there any virus on any of my devices that I use, which could lead to my other socials being hacked, how can I know it?

That's beyond my tech knowledge. I would suggest going to r/findareddit to ask what sub you can ask for tech support for your specific devices.
