No weight on foot: If you truly have a confirmation of a fracture, the most logical thing to do is get off the foot and immobilize. You should determine what bone is fractured and how it is fractured. This is important as some fractures of the foot are simply treated with splinting or casting. Some fractures need to be surgically opened and repaired with screws and plates.......Seek professional advice.

See a professional: Treatment depends of the location and type of injury. X-rays will help determine the orientation of the injury. You may need to have the area immobilized and you may need surgery. Seek professional advice.

Depends : Depending on the fracture and location. Seek a podiatrist who can evaluate it and give you a better answer. Some fractures that are displaced need surgical intervention. Others need immobilization(cast, boot or surgical shoe), rest, ice, ace wrap, elevation and padding to offload the area.

Have it looked at...: You will need and x-ray to see if you have a fracture. If fractured, you will need to be immobilized with a splint, cast, or rigid walking boot depending on the location of the injury. You may need surgery if the fracture is not stable or is displaced. Have you physician determine which course of treatment is best for you.
