" I was sick from yesterday to this morning."
" I had been sick from yesterday to this morninng."

What's the difference between them?

Good question!
When you use Past Perfect, we expect you to then say: "But, I recovered so quickly." That is, we expect a change to be mentioned.
Just using Simple Past, you are just telling us something that happened.
