It could be a rotator cuff (shoulder muscle) impingement. It needs shoulder mobilization and icing (15 minutes) 3 times a day.
Make a Physiotherapy appointment for mobilization

Possible it could be a muscle sprain or something to do with shoulder stability , it’s mandatory to meet an Physiotherapist. They would help you with a screening and work with the strength of the muscle around the joint.
So that you can retrieve back to sport

Need to check what is the problem.
If you are feeling jerk then there must be something wrong. For pain you start applying ice pack three times a day 10 min-15min.
Please visit the nearest physiotherapy clinic for proper diagnosis and treatment.
