I must have slept wrong or turned over wrong or something because I woke up with immense pain in my neck and shoulder.
Now I can't turn my head without feeling like a knife is stabbing me in my neck. I can't even lie down properly because it's agony.
I've taken ibuprofen and paracetamol, which helps a little. What else should I do? Heat pack? Cold pack?

I'd say some variation of a bridge exercise, but not that gay shit "glute bridge" or whatever, when you're just raising your butt and legs, but something that'll actually stretch your back and neck. A proper full bridge works, but it might be a wee bit too much now (and it requires some level of fitness), but doing something similar with just grabbing the edge of your kitchen counter with a chair under your butt should work just the same.
As someone with shit neck, back, and two cats who tend to turn me into a fricking contortionist when sleeping... it's a pretty darn useful exercise.

Yeah I'm not as flexible as I should be. Something to work on.
