Pain in Front Part of Leg
After running Just 5 minutes or so,(even while running very slowly) I get pain in lower frontal part of my leg. In fact, I get this pain even if I walk fast. It might be the bones or the muscles attached with the bones (I am not sure whether it's tibia or fibula). This pain gradually goes away if I rest half an hour or so!

Let me point out that I am not a regular "runner" and just started few weeks back. I run only during weekends but as I said earlier, the cause of pain does not seem to be running fast, as I get the pain even after walking fast.

Did anyone experience similar thing before? Do you have any suggestions?

Sounds possible that you have shin splits en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_splints
They will go away with some time off. This is common with individuals who are new to the level of training that are taking on.

My recommendation is to rest for 3 days and start again (rest means you don't have to stop training, just don't do what you have been)

As you become better conditioned you won't have this problem anymore. Stick with it, you'll get there.
