You have heard your Doctor wrong.
He didn't say that you take Vit D3 60 K for one week.
He said that you should take Vit D3 60 K once a week (one dose every week) .

Dose of vitamin d is 60000 units per week for 8 weeks
Higher doses results in toxicity as it is a fat soluble vitamin.

I think you should confirm the dose with you doctor as the dose is per week you have to take the medicine not per day. I think due to overdose you are feeling dizzy as the dosage is one day in a week and this will be minm upto 4 week.
