The answer to this is going to depend on many variables, perhaps most importantly, what the mechanism was. If you "cracked" your neck as you landed from a 10-storey fall, then yes, "bad" things may have happened. If you simply mean that your neck made a popping sound when you turned to look left or right, or when you laterally flexed your neck, then there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
This does not mean that it is advisable to intentionally "crack" your own neck on a regular basis, as the neck is a very flexible part of your spine, and as such, some stability is sacrificed to allow movement. The lesser stability on the joints in your neck make it more prone to injuries than the rest of your spine. The possible injuries usually range from sprains or strains and very rarely fracture.
If you are suffering from neck pain, headaches, cervicogenic dizziness, reduced range of motion, or another neck-related condition and feel that you may benefit from a neck adjustment, it is advized that you visit a doctor of chiropractic. The risks associated with a neck adjustment are almost zero when an adjustment is performed by a skilled professional (eg: doctor of chiropractic).
