Weakness in Legs?

Asked for Male, 10 years

My baby boy is 5 years old. He used to walk on toes when he started walking and after a while, he started to walk on whole feet. Now he has quite falling related accidents. And he can not sleep at night due to fatigue in legs unless we massage him. Is this normal around this age or is it some weakness??
