Aside from what company policy is, and not discriminating based on that policy, there is no law that requires a company to keep you if you are not physically able to do the job. The exception would be if you had been hired as a disabled worker from the beginning.
Most warehouse picking jobs are very hard work with strict rules about breaks and even going to the bathroom, so don't you want to find a desk job, like perhaps a customer service rep?

First by the wording, I would say this is not the US. We need to know where it is for a proper answer
