Hi what i understand from your description is that after you fell on lest side of your body you are not able to move well . In these kind of fall you have probably injured your hip or ankle . I would recommend an X ray of Pelvis with both hips antero post view and (L) anle AP/Lat. Further treatment would depend on x ray pics.
