Can't move my left leg to the left or right

So picture this, you're standing up straight, walking minding your own buisness, then out of no where it seems like you have a sharp pain in your left legt upper bone hip joint, you cannot move your leg to the left or to the right, so imagine sitting cross lapped, on a chair. You have one leg on the ground and one leg above the leg on the ground. Yea, that would pretty much kill me if I tried that. Can anyone tell me what the FRICK just happened to me? It feels like 5 minutes ago I had full control over my left leg, then suddenly I'm unable to move it to the left or to the right without it hurting me, and I mean this pain is SHARP. Let me tell you, when I tried to walk to the fridge, I couldn't even turn my leg. I had to walk like a robot turning 90 degrees each time (extremely slowly mind you) just to turn my body! Like please could someone tell me what the heck just happened to me??????

Follow up - turns out it was just extreme muscle tightness / very mild breakage in the muscle surrounding my hip / upper thigh. This was probably caused by me running all of a sudden, being in quarantine for five months and then starting to jog was a high contrast to my body.
