Was this a one-off, random thing?
Do not assume that's the case. If someone was able to actually order from one of your accounts at the very least your Walmart account was compromised. It's possible your main email account that lets you reset all of the other accounts you have was compromised.
Change passwords on accounts where you think you've been compromised now, definitely your main email and walmart accounts.
If you reuse that password or close variations of it change all of those too. If you don't have a password manager now is probably a good time to look into one. I use LastPass and like it but there are many out there.
You should also run a virus scan and malware scan on your computers in case that's how they gained access. At the very least make sure Windows Defender is turned on and download a free malware scanner like malware bytes. LINK /

Also, I guess I should report the fraudulent order online to the police?
I'm not saying don't do it, but if it's a $200 order they won't do jack shite about it.
