You can be lucky but I don't think anyone is coming to your rescue. Help in the western world is not FREE so long it's a service. Good luck!

Get it fixed or your ranking will drop. I faced similar problem coz of using nulled theme which had malware in it. Tried alot to fix but never got success to improve its traffic.
So better fix asap or take a call on it

I actually got the the theme from somebody, I am not sure if its nulled! Is there anyway to check it!
In case if its nulled, how to fix it! Will it get fixed if I delete everything and start from scratch!?

Most likely it's nulled. You can ask whoever have it to you, but it's possible they gave it to you knowing it had malware.
You can Google around and see if you can find a fix, but if you're not experienced, you'll "fix" it for a few days and it'll keep coming back. If I were you, I'd manually copy the site (not migrate), and get on a different server.

Guys, read this.
WP is shitty, when it comes to security. Even if you use genuine plugins and themes, you can still get hacked.
If you don't want to harden your security manually (yeah... Most of those security plugins are jokes), look for another solution. Yes, wp is flexible.... But that is also the reason why everybody's grandma are using wp. That makes it more vulnerable too.

So I have to change the current hosting server, buy another plan, and create the site from scratch, right?

I really can't say what's the best option for you since I don't have all the details, but since it's very likely your theme was nulled and infected, I would say that's your best bet. But, it's also possible a plugin you were using had a vulnerability, so you should look into it before setting up again.
If you can confirm the theme was nulled, I would just go ahead with a new server and recreate from scratch asap. Obviously don't use the same theme, and never use anything nulled, no matter how tempting. If you can 100% confirm it wasn't nulled, reach out to your host, see if they have a backup of your site, and ask if they can restore a clean backup, from before you were infected. If their support is halfway decent, they can also tell you the source of the malware, so you can fix asap and don't risk this happening again.

It may have happened because of the images I uploaded from my pc to site, right?
