This sounds like your pet is painful somewhere. Typically musculoskeletal (muscle or bone) pain will cause whining during motion. I would recommend feeling around on your pets body for any particularly painful areas (if you wish to investigate first). If there are painful areas, then take this concern to your vet so that they can do a good exam of the area and make the best recommendations moving forward with your pets care. Typically for muscle sprains they can be treated with just NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatorys) with good success. However if the pain is more internal and possibly a bone or ligament the vet will most likely recommend x-rays to evaluate the areas of interest further.
