Poor Scampy! He does sound painful if he cannot walk probably. I would take him into a vet immediately. He could have been injured outside if he's allowed outdoors, or he could be suffering from arthritis if he's an older cat. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms, and can prescribe some pain medications for him. Please do not give him any human pain medications, many are toxic to cats and are fatal if given. I would take him into a vet now.
