Brief Answer:
Could be a ligament sprain or habit
Detailed Answer:
Hi..By what you quote I feel that he could be having a ligament sprain. He is walking like that because he will be favoring the joint or the particular which has got sprained.
The other possibility is that he might have been having any problem. Sometimes when injury occurs, initially he could have walked like that due to pain and now he might be doing it as others are showing attention to him and he might be doing it by habit.
DO NOT WORRY. WHATEVER IT IS HE IS GOING TO BECOME NORMAL.
