Hi, so i was sitting down when my neck suddenly spasmed, causing my head to hardly tilt sideways. this caused a cracking sound and immediate pain at the back of my head and neck. anything serious?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, and physical examination. However, it may have been a cramp. If you get recurrence of the symptom, it would be prudent to see a doctor and ascertain if wearing a collar may be warranted. Wish you good health!
