Maybe not:: If you have fever, chills, or feel very sick, you may need to see urgent care before Monday. If not, you may try cleaning with warm soap and water. Apply an antibacterial ointment or cream a few times daily. Use warm compresses every 2 hours while awake. An over the counter pain reliever can also be used. You can continue this self-care until Monday when your doctor's office is open again.

Probably OK to Wait: It sounds like you may have a boil that has reached a head and has started draining. Keep the area clean and apply moist heat several times a day. Be sure not to pick or squeeze it. As long as there is no spreading redness, you should be ok to wait until Monday, and it will most likely be better.
