Why would a ball-and-socket joint at the knees create problems for walking?

There is not a ball and socket joint at the knee. It is a complex hinge joint. The knee joint begins to wear out from walking and carrying most of our weight. As we age, the socket may need to be replaced. If we walked up and down the Empire State Building 10,000 times, that is how much walking we will do in a life time.
