She could have a slight spinal injury from a fall, or a bruise, etc- or even some kind of internal issue. Only a vet can tell you for sure

A strange gate is usually due to some sort of viral infection or illness. You should probably get the cat to a vet as soon as possible. The strange gate could also be caused by a pinched nerve or some other form of nerve damage. If the cat goes to the vet, he/she will be able to diagnose the problem.

This could be from having them first learn to walk and they are trying to build there muscles. In the other hand if its grown then could have broken it.

If your cat is baby young, she may be learning baby steps. If she had been normally walking and suddenly her balance is off, she may have fallen and bruised herself, or may be developing a neurological deficit caused by a host of reasons.
