Hi, welcome to HCM.
I think you are suffering from slipped intervertebral disc which causing such a bad pain and loss of power in one of the leg.
Consult your orthopaedician urgently.
Also do MRI , as it will rule out the possible other causes. Till then dont lift any heavy object, start some pain killer also.
Thanking you.
