Yes, weakness in legs is due to pneumonia.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Pneumonia is acute infection.
And in any acute infection, weakness, leg pain, myalgia etc are common.
These symptoms are seen for almost 2-3 weeks till infection heals completely.
Since it's been only 5 days with pneumonia, you have not recovered fully from pneumonia.
So symptoms will also last for another 1-2 weeks.
Once your pneumonia is recovered, all these symptoms will also gone.
So, this weak legs are due to pneumonia.
No need to worry for this. This will improve once pneumonia is treated completely.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Thanks for your follow up question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should take simple painkiller like paracetamol (500mg) twice daily for 1 week.
This will give you a lot of symptomatic benefit.
By this 1 week, your infection will also recover and after that nothing is needed.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
