Sounds pretty serious, do you have an emergency vet? If not, I suggest you get him to a vet first thing tomorrow if he is still unable to move his back legs. Sorry, I have no other advice.

Kittens are pretty resiliant little things but if the injury is serious enough for your kitten not to want to walk then a visit to the vet is a must.
With any injury to the back the cat could have spinal problems or a shattered pelvis. It is important that you cat is treated for these injuries as yes broken bones will heal but they may heal deformed and cause your cat more problems in the long run or with a spinal injury need specialist help immediately to give your kitten the best chance of recovering.
