Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The sudden inability to move a leg could be due to a neurological deficit. If the MRI scan and all other tests are normal then it could be related to a psychiatric problem which needs a clinical evaluation.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
