Wear boot for non displaced 4th metasaursal break that i take off at night. do i need to put boot back on just to walk from the bed to the bathroom?

Yes.: You need some sort of stiff-soled shoe for a mild break, even with minimal walking, to ensure that you do not impede healing. A "post-op shoe" is easy to put on and usually is enough to protect this sort of fracture if the boot is too cumbersome to put on at night.
