power steering quit working

02 f150 supercrew 5.4
I was pulling into a parking space and my power steering suddenly stop working. When i stoped tried truning the wheel and could barly move it. After backing out and picking up a little speed it started working better, but at low speeds 0-5 mph extremely hard to turn after that works good. Its not making any noises and fluid level is still full. Is the pump bad? any ideas?
