X-ray: You may have fractured a bone so you need to see a doctor soon. In mean time, apply ice and elevate the foot. Try to keep weight only to the heel of the injured foot.

Go to ER: You may have fractured one or more of the bones in the foot. You need an x-Ray to confirm diagnosis followed by appropriate treatment.
