First of all , check your sent messages folder. Are the messages there? If so you have malware and need to run an anti-malware program like malwarebytes
If there are no messages in your sent folder you can't do anything. You are not sending the messages - your contact list has already been copied and a spammer is spoofing your name as the return address. There is nothing you can do at this point but open a new email account, inform all of your contacts of the new account, and tell them that your account was hijacked and not to open anything coming from your old account
