This symptom may be akin to the restless.leg syndrome. A.neurologist would be best to consult for evaluation & advice.if this persists.

normally, the weight of an arm causes it to hang straight down. If there is pain or discomfort, a person may subconsciously hold their arm away from their body to prevent any pressure. If your arm/shoulder is physically angled in an abnormal way, it could be due to a dislocation or fracture, but you would feel pain. If the problem persists, see a Dr in person for a full exam.
