Depends: Some surgeons allow weight-bearing as tolerated immediately with limited flexion to 90 degrees for 1 month. Other surgeons will be more conservative and do only partial weight-bearing with crutches for the first month. Confirm with your surgeon.

Meniscus repair: It depends on the severity, size, and location of the tear. The safest taking is to stay on crutches and discuss plan with your doctor.
