Difficulty In Lifting Foot After Standing. Started After Playing Video Game For Hours

I think I may have foot drop. I can't lift my foot when I'm standing . I'm only 15. A video game came out last week and I played it for like 8 hours straight and I was crossing my legs, and I think that's how I got It.
How long will it take to to away? It doesn't hurt at all, and I'm so nervous cause I'm getting my permit for driving soon and I couldn't lift my foot to the pedal:( please help
