Out of no where, I developed a soreness just below my major calf muscles. I would say its about 3 inches above the visible achilles tendon near the heal. Its sore to bend my foot up. Is this a soleus strain or achilles?

Likely right in the zone where one blends into the other, so a bit of both.
both-ish like the above mentioned and id immediately take it easy and just bike or swim for the next few days at least, not an area to mess with
Have been there..it is indeed a combo of both. Get checked out with a competent physio, get some therapy..stuff like ART, take plenty of time off.
I would bet you are a male between the ages of 35 and 45. Right?
+1 to taking it easy. A week off is nothing in terms of fitness loss, but it can do wonders for ailing muscles and tendons.
Do not mess with your Achilles area.
