I NEED HELP

Sorry if this question make sense but I cant afford to go to the vet unless I know it's bad. And I really wish that if you reply to this you do so in a not rude or harsh way. I know how reddit can be and I've fallen on hard times at the moment. But my cat has been acting weird lately. Hes 7 years old, male and an orange tabby. I got him from my aunt about 6 years ago. Hes always been sweet and kind, he doesnt cause ruckus or attack anyone. I've never even heard him hiss. But lately, whenever hes making biscuits on my lap, if I try and move him off, he'll turn around like hes about to bite me and the other day he nipped me. Hes not growling or anything but I'm worried. There hasnt been any changes environmentally, not yet at least. No new pets, no new people, nothing that he hasnt been around for the last 6 years. I try to spoil him as much as I can considering I'm poor and all but I'm still scared that I'm not doing something right. I could really use an answer on if I need to take him to a vet or if hes just being a little weirdo 

Ad on: Hes always been a little weirdo, like he will just stare at me, up close and at a distance, and has opened my door a few times. But this is different because it's getting creepy, I dont know how best to explain it
