First of all check your bars for damage by pushing the drops together and seeing if the move at all - if they do, then you may have damaged handlebars. Thoroughly check to make sure before riding your bike again.

If this isn't the issue, check your stem clamp bolts. Remove the bolts and clean the faceplate and bolts. Apply fiber grip on the contact point between the stem and bars and re-tighten the faceplate evenly.

Next, have a look at your stem and make sure that the bolts are correctly tightened. If this still hasn't cured the issue, it's time to look at your headset. Check the headset for dirt and grit, clean and regrease.

Finally, have a check of your quick release - give it clean and then re-grease it.
