This might occur: with a panic attack - but there would be a number of other symptoms as well. Don't anticipate leg weakness as a just a generalized symptom of anxiety. Discuss with your parents - if sx's don't resolve then consider medical eval. Take care.

See a doctor: to have it checked out. Getting weakness in the legs is not normal.
