Hi,
You need to consult the doctor who had done the replacement. Since your hip pops and shifts there may be some problem with the ligaments or muscular structure supporting your joint.
Also there are chances that the hip replacement has failed Your doctor may prescribe you an x-ray for the diagnosis. Till then you need to take rest, you are not supposed to put any weight on your hip joint as it may lead to further damage on knee and back. Try to use crutches for walking and the walk should be a non weight bearing on your right side.
Hope this helps you to find your problem. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Get well soon.
Regards,
