If you use an exclamation point, then you've probably just ended a sentence. For instance, "I won the lottery!"
If you end a sentence, then the next sentence must begin with a capital letter (usually). There are some different uses of exclamation points as they relate to capital/lowercase letters. For example, if you're writing, "I won the lottery!" the next sentence would logically begin with a capital letter. So you might say, "I won the lottery! I'm going to buy a new car."
BUT, sometimes the rules can change. In Shakespeare, for example, one-word interjections followed by exclamation points are often followed by a lowercase word. For instance, one might say, "Lo! he is swooning with love."
Or, if you're quoting someone as saying, "Hey!" then your sentence might be something like this: "'Hey!' he said."
Usually, though, you can assume that your next word after an exclamation point should be capitalized.
