I couldnt even stand up until i rolled over to my other side

Use both hot and cold packs. The cold will help with the inflammation. Dont leave it on more than 15min at a time. It should subside within a few days...take it easy and slowly start stretching that area after a few days but not too much. If it doesnt get better you need to go to the doctor. You probably strained your trapezius muscle..
It sounds like you could have pulled or strained your muscle. Ibuprofen will help reduce the swelling and pain. If you have a heating pad use that too, it will help blood flow to the muscle to promote healing faster. If it gets worse go to the doctor!
