Vertical cracks can appear for different reasons, and many details affect how significant a crack may be. Width, displacement, moisture, change over time and nearby symptoms are all relevant.
Do not judge by direction alone
A narrow, stable crack with no other symptoms may present differently from a crack that is widening or accompanied by movement. If you are unsure, document it and arrange an evaluation rather than guessing at the cause.
Compare with horizontal vs. vertical cracks.
