See your doctor: These symptoms can only be adequately diagnosed only after a thorough evaluation by your doctor. This may include labs and other satudies. Once all of the information is in, your doctor can let you know what's going on, and what to do to help you.

Depends: This depends on the anatomy of the fracture, in other words whether it is open or closed, a simple fracture or comminuted, displaced or nondisplaced, disrupting the joint surface, etc. Based on those factors, treatment can range from nonoperative to surgical, including arthrocopic reduction/repair, screws, plate/screws, external fixator.
