What Does Numbness In The Leg Indicate?

I woke up perfect and at around 4pm my leg went numb it has been like his for 9 hours now and hasn t changed I m only 16 so I do move around a lot. It s only the side of my leg I can feel at the front of my leg and the side of my knee seems to be a little bit bigger then the other one but my legs are the same size.
