See your doctor: There are several causes that might be significant. But a common cause of one-sided neck soreness (without injury) is incorrect sleep position.

Muscle strain: Highly likely muscle strain can occur from sleeping with neck in unusual position. Heat hot towel. Ibuprofen otc three times daily with food. If persistent see physician.
