Yesterday after class i took about a 5 hour nap. when i awoke, the side of my neck was really stiff and has like a lump on it and my back hurt too.

Mechanics: Your symptoms are most likely related to how you slept and what you slept on. You most likely strained your neck and back during your neck because of an atypical sleep position, and possibly different bedding than your own.
