Those are your hip flexors, this happened to me too. Squatting heavy gets really, really difficult.
Solution:
Stretch #1 *skip to 3:33*
Stretch #2
No video, but put the bar on the rack, and hold onto it and sink into a deep squat position while holding the bar, this will really stretch your hip flexors.
I usually do light warmup for 8 reps, do stretch 1, then stretch 2, and then go onto my other workouts. After I'm done squatting I stretch them again.
Avoid squatting for now as squatting will only make the soreness and pain persist, give it time to heal, then do the above suggestions to ensure it never comes back. I had this prob and it lasted ~1.5 weeks before I could squat again
