Its been two days and my thighs pain a lot. Can't bend my knees because of extreme pain in the thighs. I can't move around and its extremely painful to simply get up and sit down.

it is perfectly normal. It is delayed onset muscle soreness, that will subside on its own. Next time do not jump directly on strengthening, start with cardio. let the body get used to it first then gradually come to strengthening.
Next Steps
Give rest to your body and do stretching.
Health Tips
Do warm-up before exercise.

Take rest for three more days.  Give ice fomentation for 10-15 minutes for every three hours a day. You can use volini gel or spray provided you are not allergic. If the pain persist or aggrevates you should consult a physiotherapist in person for further assessment and treatment.

If the pain was sudden in onset after workout, you can apply ice packs over the area for 10-15 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day, If still not relieved or is much severe, then a good analgesic with a muscle relaxant may be required only after proper assessment by a physician. Along with it gentle stretching of the thigh muscle which is injured would help. This again will require an assessment Hydrate yourself well with adequate rest. Whenever you start exercises after a long gap, start with a lower intensity, speed and duration, with adequate warm up and cool down
Next Steps
You can either consult online or visit any Rehab and Physical Medicine Physician/Specialist or Pain Physician
Health Tips
Do not work out untill your spasm is completely relieved
