Fall: Hi, the question is why did u fall twice? lack of balance? Tripped? intoxicated? u better go for evaluation and X-ray of your foot to make sure there is no fracture, meanwhile ice it, elevate it, stay of your foot, also u can warp it with an ace band if you know how to do it. Also be careful not to fall again. Good luck.

X-ray: It sounds like it is time to get an x-ray to determine if it is fractured. In the mean time use ice and ibuprofen, keep your foot elevated, and be careful not to injure it further.

Pop goes the tendon.: It seems strange that your foot isn't swelling, but it just might not be broken. The snap could the sound of a tendon snapping. This would explain why you can't move your toes. You would be best served to visit a specialist and have the degree of injury evaluated.
