My photoshop was upgraded and now when I work on my canvas an icon appears and it suddenly rotates or zooms in ans out or moves whitout my doing. I assume I need to turn off some funtion? this has happened before when an upgrade occurrs. Please advise. The icon looks like a compass needle

That would seem to be the Rotate View Tool.
Hitting esc should reset the View.
»whitout my doing«
Could you be inadvertently touching the trackpad or tablet?
Does unchecking Photoshop > Preferences > Tools > Enable Gestures make a difference?
Turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop might provide a brute work-around …

Is your spacebar stuck ?

If it is not a hardware issue and restarting does not alleviate the issue then Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point to trouble-shoot:

I very much think that one of your keys is Stuck, a space bar to be exact.
Also make sure the hotkeys function is not activated, on Windows machine it's the Alt Key it could as well be stuck.
