You know when you wake up, and you can only turn your neck in one direction because it hurts like hell (likely from sleeping in a bad position)?Physiologically – what’s happening? Is it something related to muscles, joints, tendons, nerves? Is there a best course of action to resolve the pain and whatever’s causing it?

See a doctor so they can refer you to a neck specialist. That specialist will likely either use massage, chiro, and physio therapy techniques to help you out.
Whats probably happening is improper sleeping technique and your muscles are cramping. If its severe pain go to the doctor right away. Otherwise gentle stretching, alternate heat/cold on the area, and stay well hydrated. Get some electrolytes too!
