This could be called self incrimination, and generally one is not called to do this unless given a previous plee bargain. The Constitution prevents one from being forced to incriminate oneself.

What is it called when you testify against yourself in a case?

Self-incrimination can be voluntary or coerced. It may occur prior to trial, or on the stand. If the defendant is called to testify on his behalf, he may choose to admit guilt. In this manner, the accused could testify against himself.
