I've just put my fit bit surge on charge and while it's been on charge overnight apparently I have burned 1,349 calories when I wasn't even wearing it at all and I supposedly done 6 steps when it was sitting all night on my dresser charging has anyone else had this issue before

Fitbit counts your BMR (basal metabolic rate) calorie burn even when not wearing tracker.  These are the calories you are always burning just to stay alive.  They are usually more than half the calories burned in a day.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
