Hopefully you only have your caps lock on!  Check this, it is a common mistake.  Caps won't effect your other entries but passwords are case sensitive.

If not, you've been hacked.  It isn't being publicized much, but this has become an increasing problem for Apple.  If you have a credit card number stored with them - call the credit card company immediately.  Check all your charges through Itunes and dispute any that you didn't make.  Same with any PayPal information you may have on there.  Then notuify  iTunes via email to inform them of the situation.  They should contact you within 24 hrs.  Once you can get back onto your account - change your password.
