It does sound like you were stretched a little too much, but never fear it should feel better within a day or two. It is not your fault at all, but I would recommend that next time you have a different therapist that doesn't really know your case that well that you clearly communicate what your regular therapist has been doing. You can say, "Joe, usually stretches both legs" or "Joe has only been taking my leg to 40 degrees". It helps to know your numbers so ask your regular therapist what your range of motion is for each joint involved. Don't be shy about telling someone new what is going on with you. That being said the new PT should have read the chart and known how far to take you. Talk to your regular therapist about your experience with the sub. You might try a little ice pack alternating with a warm pack this evening!!
