Doctor visit - Yes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
Sudden stiffness in the neck is very common and it is always preferable to contact a doctor ,esp. orthopedic surgeon.
While I strongly recommend consultation- in the meantime you can start pain killers and muscle relaxants + local heal therapy.
