That's delayed onset muscle soreness, a very normal thing. As your muscles get used to pushing themselves, you'll experience it a lot less.

Especially when I first get back into it I can lift things normally to failure and feel fine but then like 1-2 days after especially leg days it’s to the point I can’t walk. Is this normal to those who are more experienced or does it seem like even though I can do it in the moment and be fine that day I should go lighter?

Ok thank you so much! It is kinda making me wonder about changing my split because I have Legs, Push, Legs, Pull, Abs/Cardio but I honestly am too sore on the second leg day to do anything so I might switch legs 2 and abs to help now that I know it’s a real thing!!

Yeah switching your days around is definitely a good option. You'll definitely experience soreness less as you get used to it, but you can also reduce it by just doing less total volume (sets and reps of exercises)
