Sudden Faintiness, Weakness In Legs While Walking. Legs Sore, Crampy. Suggestions?

Yesterday as I was walking all of the sudden I felt like I was going to faint and my legs felt weak like they couldn t support me. This has continued all day today when I walk any distance. It is both legs they also feel sore and crampy. I really feel if I don t sit down quickly I will fall down that is how dizzy I feel.
