You need to periodically lube your cables to keep them moving freely. Use a good cable specific lube. That will make your cables buttery smooth once again.

Make sure your cable is routed properly without sharp bends. It may have gotten pinched in between something when you turned your handlebars. Disconnectthe cable from both ends and see is it moves freely while it is still installed on the bike. If it's difficult, replace it. You can lube the new cable with the small straw and a paper towel wrapped around the cable & straw to seal it off. There is a special cable luber made by Motion Pro also.

Cycle Gear has the cable luber on sale for $6.99. I bought one even.
