It can be really scary to have someone hack into your account and access your personal information, let alone change it. I am glad you reacted so quickly and I'll give you the steps to take care of it.
1. Change your password: Go to http://twitter.com/account/resend_password and get twitter to send you an email with a reset link. Folow this link and create a STRONG password for your account.
2. Revoke access for unrecognized applications: Click on your user name>settings. Go to the applications tab and click on 'revoke access' for any third-party application that you don't recognize.
3. Update your new password in your trusted third-party applications: If a trusted external application or widget uses your Twitter password, be sure to update your password in the application. Otherwise, your may get temporarily locked out of your account due to failed login attempts.
4. Now, as a precaution,
-Delete any unwanted Tweets that were posted while your account was compromised.
-Scan your computers for viruses and malware, especially if unauthorized account behaviors continue to be posted after you've changed the password.
-Install security patches for your operating system and applications
-Always use a strong, new password you don't use elsewhere and would be difficult to guess.
