Hello
After reading the details provided by you its seems that you have had a muscle pull or probably some degree of muscle tear. Now you need to take rest for a couple of days along with some mild pain killer med like paracetamol.
Minor muscle tears takes approx a week to 10 days to heal properly. You can continue your routine activities and avoid any heavy work.
