Hi, My Name Is Carol And I Am Having Difficulty

hi, my name is Carol and I am having difficulty putting pressure on my right leg.
I carried my heavy suitcase up the stairs using my right leg to push it up one step at a time. since then, I've been feeling a pain right in the hip joint area whenever I walk. and also feel my groin / upper leg pulling (probably because of the way I am compensating for the pain when I walk).
should I consult with a doctor?
