It sounds like Max could be painful - he may have injured himself when exercising this evening. If he still seems painful in the morning I'd recommend seeing your vet for an exam. If he seems very lethargic or painful you may want to see a veterinarian tonight - they can determine whether or not he is painful and prescribe safe pain medication to keep him comfortable overnight.
