Missed Call From Myself?

Back to the Future? So maybe either a service call (I think maybe some providers call and it comes up as your own number), pocket dial, or maybe some kind of software glitch which you could try updates/ restoring your iPhone. Sorry I can't actually be of much help.
If you call your own cellphone number from the same phone it automatically goes to your voicemail box.
I just did it.

This just happened to me, at 4:05am. I was asleep after a late night and didn't get to bed until 3am. I was very tired so I'm not sure what happened, but something woke me up at 4:05, and my phone screen was lit up with a missed call from myself. Something weird is going on here.
It’s your future self calling you to warn you about something. Answer it and ask them who will win the World Series so I can go ahead and place my bet!
Sometimes, when I'm bored.
I call myself.
Or I bring up threads from 2012

Voice spammers and scammers do this a lot to try to get you to answer. They are using VOIP services to spoof phone numbers. They had been doing it a lot with numbers in the same exchange, but maybe they started spoofing the number they are calling.
Either pranked by someone (there are apps, websites where one can enter "Call from [Your number]" - they enter your number and it will show you calling you )
OR Spoofing from some scammer / robocaller! I get these also or some very similar variation of my number - the area code and first 3 digits. That angers me to no end!

I've noticed a few of these myself in recent weeks.

Someone messed up: per a different thread, they should be using their Mr. Fusion powered Delorean to get an X, not resurrect this thread from 5yrs ago.
But since this zombie thread is alive, a plug for Hiya app. Been using that for a couple of months now and love it. Has an option to send calls with same first 6 digits not in Contacts to voicemail. My phone has been pretty much 99% silent re: spam/scams/telemarketers. Get one occasionally sneak through, but can block that and report that number to Hiya to include in their spam database.
(I too have missed a call from me earlier in the year)
