Oh no, poor Arrow! Given that he is limping and his stomach feels weird, I would have him seen by a vet immediately. He could have been seriously injured by you accidentally sitting on him, and it's important that he's evaluated by a vet now for it. I would take Arrow into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him now.
