Neck pain and x-ray: Likely slept in the wrong position, if this is the first time would just take some over the counter pain meds and it should resolve. If it persists then would see your primary care md.

Wry neck: Sounds like you have a wry neck, from sleeping in an awkward position. Sleep with a heating pad set on low, flat in bed, without a pillow and take Ibuprofen for pain. It should take about a week to improve.
