So on move 68 the only piece I had left was my king. The game progressed on to move 118 and I got checkmated and lost rating points but I thought that after 50 moves with only your king remaining the game ends in a draw. It even says on that info thingy that the game went 50 moves with only my king on the board so the game is a draw, but above that it says 0-1. I'm wondering if I am missing something or maybe It's a bug. Thank you so much!

It's 50 moves with no captures or pawn moves then it's a draw. Checkmate happened on move 50 so that take precedence. The information message is in error.
edit: the 50 moves is for both players: white had made 50 moves, and black mated on their 50th move. Had mate not occurred on that move, it would have been a draw.
