Flu: Still can be normal to have leg pain with the flu, that part doesn't have to happen on day one of the illness. If he legitimately can't walk at all, then he needs an evaluation by his doc. There is a chance of Guillian Barre syndrome from the flu, which gives difficulty walking.

Muscle pain: Influenza, particularly Influenza B, is well known for eventually leading to calf pain that may produce this problem. On close study, there is evidence the virus invades and irritates the muscle cells. Normal return to function as the body heals is the most common outcome.
