Answer 1

pulled a muscle in your neck. Try hot packs

Answer 2

Very likely you have a pinched nerve but the only way to tell and get relief is to see a doctor or clinic for an exam right away.  Try holding heat on it for tonight and massage it gently with the Bengay till morning when you can be examined.  Don't wait for it to get better....you probably need some treatment and maybe physical therapy right away.  Best wishes.
