Did you cut deeply? Is it gaping/how much?

There isn't really much you can do to help you walk. It's not an area you can bandage up for support and it's not something that you should need either. Does it aches all the time or is it just painful when you walk or both? Does it hurt when your leg is in certain positions? What does the pain feel like? Can you put weight down your leg or is it just a bit sore?

it wasnt that deep but it is gaping a little but im keeping it clean!
it aches alot which makes it painful to walk on and its also abit sore as it rubs on my clothes it normally hurts when im sat down and when my legs straight!

It's probably just the skin that is aching from the position you've got it though it could be possible you've just nicked a muscle but not badly. Keep it clean, have a dressing on it that you change every day or so and keep an eye out for infection. A dressing will help for both preventing infection and stopping it from rubbing on your clothing.
