"Of my own accord" means of my own will, without coercion or force. It is the correct form of the idiom.
"On my one accord" is technically incorrect, but still used a lot.

I believe both idioms are correct and have the same meaning:
Spontaneous or voluntary desire to take a certain action.
Example:
The children returned on their own accord. He confessed of his own accord.
