I had brain surgery for AVM and they said usually caused by a hit on the head. I don't recall any fall or accident that would cause such trauma. What else?

No, fibromyalgia cannot cause arteriovenous malformation (AVM). It is generally a congenital disorder. You've probably had it since birth but it was just not discovered until you developed symptoms or had other problems that revealed it.
Here are a couple of references with more information about AVM:
