How to tell if i tore a muscle or if it's just a pull?

Can't always!: Spraining a muscle involves a degree of tearing fibers. A complete tear is simply that. If you have muscle dysfunction, either an ultrasound or MRI (ultrasound cheaper) would need to be ordered. Until you see the doctor, , use rice and an analgesic.
