Most likely: If you can walk on it, it probably is not broken. Bruising and swelling are usually worst on day 3-4 (which would be now for you). The numbness is probably due to pressure on the nerve from the swelling. The bruising and swelling should resolve in 7-10 days. Be sure to ice, elevate, and rest. If the symptoms worsen or don't improve, see your doctor. Hope this helps!
