See a podiatrist: X-rays likely are needed to rule out a possible fracture.

See a doctor: If you landed on the outside of your foot when your heard the crackle, and it is now painful, swollen and/or bruised, you very well could have broken a bone. Getting an x-ray will help in determining that, and help start you on appropriate treatment.
