My cat is sleeping a lot, walking stiffly, and can't jump. What to do?

Hello, my name is Courtney! My cat, Millie, just turned 1 and is having some strange symptoms. I’ve noticed in the past few weeks that she hasn’t been able to jump up on higher things-like counters, her cat tree. She used to do just fine but now she attempts and falls on her back. More importantly, she’s been sleeping A LOT. In fact, The ONLY times she gets up is to use the box or eat- all normal amounts. She will walk stiffly a couple of steps then lay down. She won’t get up For anything else.
