Would you please correct the mistakes in my sentences?

I had a bad night. I slept on a bare floor with my jacket rolled-up as a pillow. I got up and felt pain moving like electric current through my body.

It might be helpful in the future if you could tell us what you think are the mistakes. We can then help you understand the passage or grammar better. Thanks.

I am not a teacher.

Delete the hyphen in 'rolled-up'.

Delete the hyphen in 'rolled-up'.

You should hyphenate compound adjectives that precede the noun they modify: a rolled-up jacket. Don't hyphenate phrasal verbs.
