The Gluteus maximus is the famed "butt cheek muslce"but it doesn't run down to your thigh. What you have sounds like an injury to the lower back, notably L4-L5 lumbar section, that compressed the sciatic nerve (which follows the exact path you mentioned.
Icepack the lower back and take aspirin, ibuprofin, or any other Over The Counter antiinflamatory/painkiller and there's an excellent chance you'll be fine in a few days as soon as the swwlling goes down and stops compressing that nerve. If this isn't gone in a week, get it looked at -- but it should be fine before that.
While the answer above may be the correct diagnosis, it may well still be the gluteus maximus. The Gluteus Maximus does indeed insert into the lateral thigh, just below the trochanter - the bony outermost prominence below the hip. In fact the insertion is called the gluteal tuberosity. It also inserts into the Iliotibial Band which runs right down the outer thigh. Lots of online diagrams show this eg wikipedia and gray's anatomy. And spraining it does indeed give you buttock and posterolateral thigh pain. A few easy tests should prove if it's gluteal muscle pain. Is it tender to deep palpation behind and below the trochanter? Can you pull your knees up to you chest - try good then bad leg. Can you easily stand on one (bad) leg? Can you get trouser/socks /shoes on and off easily standing on your bad leg? Can you cross your bad leg over the good leg - firstly with legs near straight, secondly with knees at 90 degrees? If you can do the latter, while sitting, put the heel of the bad leg on the knee of the good leg and let the knee gently fall outwards and laterally. Can you squat with your feet placed well apart. Can you get up again? Can you clench each buttock cheek tightly, one at a time (do good leg then bad leg)? If you have problems with most of these, the answer is probably Gluteus Maximus sprain or tear and you need to rest it until it improves. Ice therapy may help. ibuprofen or similar helps. Don't do stretches on it, although stretches of other surrounding muscles may help. When it improves after a few days, gently start mobilising it but stop if it hurts. Put off the stretches till later. Good luck!
