Probably your child has developed Transient synovitis hip.
Don't make the child stand or walk.it should be OK in a wk.
If the child develop fever any other symptom, consult a local ortho doctor.

See if your baby can move his legs at knee and hips adequately.
Reduction in movement wil guide you to the problem area ( knee/hip).
Check his fever timely.
In case his symptoms are not getting better he would need some blood tests and scans for a proper diagnosis.
Do not neglect your childs symptoms.
They can very well adjust with reduced movements at knee and hip.
