What is happening to my ceilings and walls?

last month

Recently I have been getting a lot of cracks and lines on ceilings all over the house, some on walls. Also lines on carpet right under bedroom doors. It started on second floor and now I can see them on first floor too. When I walk around on the carpet, I can hear some thumping noise.

I don't know what is going on here. I think it started happening after I turned the thermostat to 72 for a few days two weeks ago. Maybe too much heat and low humidity caused this? Or some structure joists/trusses or foundation problem? The house is 24 years old.

With heat turned on, the humidity is around low 30s. Should I get a humidifier for whole house?

Should I get a home inspector to take a look or a structural engineer?
