It's easy for a coil connection at a spark plug to disconnect, especially if you had spark plug work done recently and the connector was not clicked on properly to begin with.
That's exactly what it will feel like. If you can get under the car via wheel wells and give each coil wire a little tug you'll see if you have a disconnected one. could be a bit of a PITA to reconnect, be can do. Otherwise, a bad coil, a bad spark plug, etc. The on-board diagnostics can tell you what cylinder the misfire is at, but if you don't have access to one, do what I suggested.
