Climbing and jumping require different muscles and skills so please don't rule out that your dog is in pain as a reason he won't even try to jump on the couch until you've had his vet check him ASAP. You would feel terrible if he is really hurting and you didn't find out until Monday or something. Truly, for a dog to limit himself from something he ordinarily does is worrisome as to why he's not behaving normally. Why put off off calling your vet? He won't mind - that's his job.
