It seems to me that it is possible that the abutment can be loose. The crown sits on top of the abutment. So I would suggest that you go and see your dentist so that he can see if there is a problem with the abutment and crown.

Normally it is not a good situation if your implant crown came loose, this could lead to the inner threads of the implant to be compromised and at this point the implant would need to be removed. So your best bet is to go to the restoring dentist as soon as possible to tighten the screw to the proper torque and to check your bite.
Good Luck,
