I don’t know what I did wrong. Should I keep exercising or just not do it for a while? Should I wrap it. Only one wrist hurts, but it hurts really bad!

You didn’t say what kind of exercise you were doing, but definitely stop whatever it was and give your body time to heal and then resume without the weights because they are obviously putting too much stress on your wrists.
I think your form of exercise is not correct. You can get the information reagarding this in:

maybe it was too many reps. i know it sounds dumb becuase it was only a 3lb weight. when someone hits u lightley in one spot it dosent hurt the 1st time now after doing it a bunch of times it starts to hurt alot so lifting a light weight many many times it feels like lifting something heaiver and heavier the more you progress my advice is use heavier weights and do fewer reps. since you’re a girl no im not being sexist im just saying what most girls ive seen do is use like a 10-15lb weight and do maybe between 10 and 20 reps take a break then do it again and do like 3-5 sets.
right, don’t do so many next time. 3 lbs. isn’t much, but our tendons and joints etc. aren’t always as strong as the muscles, sounds like you did indeed hurt something. The exercise first aid I always heard is RICE:
Rest, Ice (put something cold on it), compression (wrap it etc) Elevation, keep it up for a while. An ibuprofen to stop pain and swelling might help too. If it still hurts with a sharp pain tomorrow, check with your doctor. And no more exercises with that hand until it stops hurting.
if you bent your arms too tightly it stresses a small muscle for fine motor skills and hurts your wrists
plus when you exersize you do it every other day so your muscles can heal and you do it in small increments and slowly work upto a higher number… like 10 every other day for 2 weeks then up it by 5 so after 2 weeks every other day of 10 reps of lifting a LIGHTER weight you up it to 15 or you up the weight by a pound for arms 2-3 pounds for your legs
like this
I lift 1 lbs weight for 2 weeks (every other day) to work my ARMS out… 10 times each arm
then after 2 weeks (every other day) I lift 2 lbs for 2 weeks 10 times each arm… then after that up it to 3 … and so on… so you should not be doing that many it rips your muscles and when you don’t take the next day off your muscles don’t heal, they just rip more… and then when you feel it is when you have done some damage and need to take 2-3 weeks off and talk to a doctor
in all TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR
When you’re that sore after exercising, just don’t exercise in that way for a day or 2, and you can exercise again, just not so vigorously. And don’t put all the weight on your wrists, you’re exercising your biceps, not wrists. If it continues to hurt for awhile, get it checked. I’ve broken my arm and ignored it, and because I did, I needed surgery. Although I doubt it’s that bad, be careful.
