Hi,
From history it seems that your problem is due to crunches you did 3 days back.
Initially after starting any exercises give stretching of muscles gives rise cramps and pain with any movements.
Nothing two worry, within 2-3 days it will be alright.
To start any exercise start for short time and then gradually increase the time.
For pain you can take ibuprofen as needed.
Ok and take care.
