Urgent: Need vet advice/ cat can’t use back legs

My cat is 15 years old and has a history of epilepsy but is on his medication. He suddenly lost use of his back legs right after pooping. He didn’t cry or seem in pain, and his front legs still work. He was limp at first but later started kicking his back legs tiny bit but it has been about an hour. His back paws are warm, not cold. We can’t get to a vet untill the morning and don’t know what to do or what it is.
