Why did this happen to my leg during stretching?

8 days ago I was stretching before starting to exercise. I was doing a long stance where the back leg is straight and the front leg is bent in a 90 degree angle.

While I was doing this, my right leg fell asleep. Only the upperleg. It's still asleep.

Is this serious?

    Sounds like a pinched nerve, possibly sciatic? Look up YouTube videos for the exercises that can help alleviate sciatica pain and they might help.

        Meh, there's only like a 30% chance it will do irreversible damage.

            That was very obviously not a serious reply...
