Flexing rear wheel

I have a 3 year old Revolution Cuillin. When I put load onto the pedal the rear wheel moves across and rubs against the base of the frame. When I turn the bike upside down and turn the quick release anticlockwise the hub and the whole wheel seems to move back and forth.
This fault happened suddenly and the wheel seems relatively true when turning and only flexes under pedal load.
What has happened and how is it fixed?
