You appear to have an Acute neck strain. This is quiet common and usually not serious. Please consult an orthopaedist. You might need an X Ray followed by pain killers and muscle relaxants.
After the Pain comes down after a couple of days you will need exercises to strengthen your neck muscles and alteration in your postural habits.
Hope that helps,
