Hello i have a question about my shoulder i play sports year round and my shoulder has been able to like crack and pop but it hurts now wht do i do?

Get it evaluated: The first thing you should do is to have the shoulder evaluated to determine the cause of the pain. An orthopedist would be the appropriate doctor.
