The padlock means it's private. I don't think that stops random people from finding your page though, they just don't see any of your tweets. Anyone would still be able to request to follow you, unless you've blocked them, at least that is what I think...
Sorry you're getting unwanted followers, it must be jarring if you're a private person.
Don't worry though, you have total control being in private mode.
