How come it is possible that I lost because of abandon when my opponent didn't move for 5 mins?

The app clearly showed that opponent's clock was running. They didn't move. Only sent some chat emotes. Their clock showed the abandon timer. When the timer was up their piece moved and I got abandon and also our clocks switched.

This must be some major bug?

You probably just lost connection. If you do that it will look like your opponent is thinking why he/she have actually moved.

If you're on the iOS app there's a known bug impacting some games. Staff are aware and are working on a fix that should be available soon.

Version 4.7.17 of the app with a fix is in the process of rolling out.

Iv had the same problem multiple times. Never used to happen to me either. Randomly my opponents timer has kept running mid game looking like they can’t decide to move them I loose by time out. Really annoying me now, they need to fix it
