Go: Go asap to a doctor. If you walk on a fractured joint you can cause more damage.

Go now: It is important to assess whether the toe is straight or crooked. If crooked, it may need to be reset. Go to the doctor to get a xray to see. In the mean time i would buddy splint the toe to the next toe to reduce movement and pain.
