I just stretched out, and my chest cracked? something i should be worried about.

Not unusual: It is not unusual to hear or feel pops and cracks with some stretching movements. In your case it can be a rib cartilage that has moved. This is usually of no significance. It would be important to know if there is any residual pain. If there is pain you should have it checked
