consult a Physio or an ortho, start slow progression of gym work out, as you mentioned a muscle spasm and cramp hope you are hydrating well, remember to warm up before and cool down post the workout, you can also have some electrolytes which can help sodium potassium pump for muscle recovery to work, intake of calcium and Vitamin D is also important to avoid future episodes. going forward with physical therapy you can rest and start with some trigger point release, work on your biomechanics of exercising with the physio specialist brace the arm for few days, hope you get good results
Next Steps
visit a physio and do a blood test for vitamin D and VItamin b12
Health Tips
remember if you exercise when body is deficient in vitamin D and calcium and Vitamin b12 muscle fatigue is much and atheletes should look at these supplements

Give your arms rest from over working and probably try icing for 5-10 mins incase of swelling.
Resting will benefit it and stop it from worsening further and also give the injury, time to repair.
Consult an orthopaedic and follow up with a qualified physiotherapist after that.

Give rest to the muscles for now. Practice relaxation training i.e. loosen up your tummy, loosen up shoulders, allow breath. Muscles need oxygen.!! You must feel the relaxation happening!
You'll see the pain reduce or even disappear.
We are not habitual of relaxation so mostly we tense our peripheral muscles and the core remains inactivated.
Next Steps
Apply any pain relief spray over the area and let it be exposed to air. Avoid exercising the affected muscles.
Health Tips
Sprays are better than ice packs; quicker relief esp in summers. Consult a physician if the pain does not subside.

Typically muscle soreness after new exercise subsides by the fourth day if you have not increased the intensity of exercises. If you have not increased the intensity and if still pain persists, there is a possibility of muscle injury. This could have happened if you have exercised past fatigue.
Next Steps
stop exercising your arm to prevent further injury. avoid exercises which increases the said pain. apply ice pack to the area once every two hours. if the pain doesn't improve in a day, consult a doctor.
Health Tips
While exercising always start with low weights and progress slowly
