The condition you are facing is trismus and not lock jaw. It shall subside in a week or so. Follow mouth exercises as advised by your dental surgeon. Nothing to worry. Relax.

It depends on when you got your extraction done. And whether it was a complicated surgical procedure or a normal removal procedure. Difficulty in mouth opening is a normal finding till 3-5 days post extraction.
Next Steps
Visit an oral surgeon/ dentist who performed the procedure as soon as possible.
