How could i tell the difference between having a hip fracture and a pulled groin?

Easy: A hip fracture is much mroe painful, and you will probably not be able to bear weight on that leg at all. If you are walking, then it's not a hip fracture. At your age it would be unlikely to get a fracture without significant trauma, such as a car crash or fall > 10ft.
