iPhone making calls that I did not initiate

My iPhone made two outgoing phone calls to one of my contacts without me initiaing them. Has anyone else had this happen? How do I stop it from happening again? I was asleep for the first one and woke to someone on the other end saying, "Hello. Hello." I hung up and three minutes later it happened again. I then turned my phone off. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max with iOS Version 27.0.1. My phone was on a cordless charge and my Apple Watch was next to it on a charger. They were connecte via bluetooth at the time.

That sounds like Ghost Touch, where the screen acts as if it had been touched. Was the phone in your pocket or anywhere on your person with the screen against your body when this happened? If so it might just have been your body touching the screen.
