What does it mean? "Something was being done."
I cannot understand this sentence. Maybe "Something was happening at the moment"?

You are right. It's a past continuous passive, and it means that someone was doing something at that time. Who that person was is not important - the important thing is that action was happening
If you can supply the full context, we can explain in more detail.
