  We can’t help you as your site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform but is self-hosted. As you have a self-hosted site, you must clean up this malware yourself. You find all info at https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/faq-my-site-was-hacked/

  I like to point out that if your site would have been running on our wordpress.com platform, you wouldn’t have to solve this yourself as we take care of those problems.

  The most common reason for a website being flagged for malware by Google is that your website has been hacked. A hacker might have installed malicious files to which visitors to your website are exposed.
