He could have injured his back. If it's an actual spinal injury, it's important to see the vet as soon as possible. If you have an out of hours vet that is experienced with rabbits, I would try and get into there tonight. If not, contact your vet as soon as they open in the morning.
In the meantime, I would be restricting movement. You don't want your bun moving around a lot and further aggravating the injury. Also important to make sure buns food and water is easily accessible since your bun won't be able to move around, and make sure your bun is eating and drinking. You may also need to make sure your bun is urinating on his own. You'll want to keep clean fresh towels under him so he doesn't get urine soaked fur overnight.
