Was it damp outside during the night? The most likely cause is the brake pads rusting to the rotors...it's a nasty sound, but no harm is done.

Yep, the same thing happens if I wash the car and pull it into the garage overnight.

I hope you don't mean when you shift into reverse because that's kinda obvious.

Do a test...see if you can roll the car in neutral before you drive it. If it rolls free, then the clunk is not the brake pads. But I believe that it is. Mine does it too.
