A little unnatural
Depending on the context you could say various different things. What you said is grammatically correct but sounds a little odd standing on its own.
Perhaps:
My mother leaned on my arm for support.
I helped support my mom as ... [we did something]
I steadied my mother [as we did something]
etc.
