Basically, my left leg hurts really bad, i can hardly walk on it and i'm wondering if i should get crutches for it? im not sure.

Sure: You can get crutches so you don't have to try and bear weight on the limb. But I would also recommend seeing a doctor to find out why you have such severe leg pain. Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) will also help in the interim with pain until you can see the doctor.

Woke up with back pain that is so bad I can barely walk, sit up, or even bend. If I stretch my left leg out the pain in my lower left back starts to hurt. Even my butt area hurts when I sit down. I didn't do anything to hurt it just woke up this way?
