Hi,
If this problem is of recent origin then it might be due to some muscle strain and spasm of neck muscles.
Take some analgesic with muscle relaxant medicine for 2-3 days.
If this problem is since long and if you are elderly then this can be due to some degenerative changes in your cervical spines giving rise this problem.
Go for x-ray cervical spines.
After report go for physiotherapy, short way diathermy etc.
Avoid keeping pillow under your neck while sleeping.
Ok and take care.
