If it were from Apple, you would be taken to the App Store, not a web site. But in all cases like this, call Apple. It is the only way to be absolutely certain, but I'm 99 percent sure this is a phishing attempt that would end very badly. Apple also wants to know about these kinds of attempts, so please call them. You can call Apple Accessibility to get through to a human more directly.
