I went to bed early last night but woke up at 4 am with the chills and never got back to sleep more than 15 minutes at a time untill 6 am. Well now my whole body aches. I don't think I have the flu. All my muscles hurt and I have a headache. Was it from having the chills or sleeping too long? What do you think I have. Feels like I am hungover too.

All of those are typical signs of the flu. You need to rest and drink plenty of fluids. May be best to see a doctor.

Another possibility is Lyme disease. Have you been bitten by a tick recently? http://www.medicinenet.com/lyme_disease/page2.htm#Whatare

It sounds like you have an absolutely miserable cold, or flu. The muscle aches make me think flu. If you absolutely cannot leave work, make sure to keep yourself hydrated. When you're sick like this it makes you very susceptible to dehydration. Also, if you feel at all unable to drive home, see if you can get a friend/relative to drive you home.
Finally, cold and/or flu can mimic symptoms of more serious illnesses (like meningitis for instance). If you're not feeling better in a day or two, I'd consult your doctor.
Get well, I hope work isn't too awful for you.
