I had a very similar thing happen to me in the late 80’s when I was 5. I remember getting out of bed and falling to the ground as I couldn’t feel my legs. I lost function of both legs and couldn’t walk, my parents brought me into doctors and specialist and they had no answers. Less than a week later I regained feeling and function of both my legs like nothing ever happened. I don’t recall having a fever.

I actually forgot that happened to me until your story just now. Crazy.

I read long ago that a large percentage of people experience temporary paralysis with no traceable cause. Of course I don't remember where I read it.

The writer Mary Shelley's arm suddenly became paralyzed when she was a teenager. After several months the paralysis went away.

Check my comment below about myositis, it's most likely what you had!

I get why you would get this during an infection, but why a week or two after an infection?

Same thing happened to me around that age as well except it was only for a few days...
