I also started lifting recently and have the same problem. Searched this site for answers for this specific problem ..
This problem almost always occurs with people that are new to lifting or restarting after a long break.
Most people say its just common DOMs or we just overworked it a little too much after not having done anything at all before, lol. It should go away in a few days.

Re
I just want to know if I have doms or tendinitis and yes I've read in other posts that u get doms if u never worked out b4 or not for a long period of time but after my pain has stopped and I go back to the gym again will my arms not be able to bend and stretch? Don't mind the muscle pain but not being able to move my arms freely annoys me cause I can't even take my shirt off lol

If it's post workout muscle soreness that's ok. I dont think it's tendonitis. It could be just muscle/tendon strain. Just take a week off and see if it goes away. Take fish oil and glucosamine/chondroitin supps daily. When I got acute muscle pain I also had Aleve prescribed by my ortho:
