My legs feel shaky when i go up ladders and when i walk. does this mean i have weak muscles?

Unlikely: Unless you are severely deconditioned (professional couch potato), it is unlikely that your muscles are shaking just from weakness with walking. You should see your primary care doctor to make sure that you do not have any hormonal or blood pressure issues. If that is okay, see physiatrist or neurologist to eval for neurologic causes.
