Worrisome: Lots of possible reasons: post-traumatic arthritis, hardware pain/ ?Failure, incomplete fusion, re-current infection, just because? Put your brace on, get some crutches, go see your doctor.

See doc: Sudden pain after a step may indicate breakage of the metal or a stress reaction in one of your bones. If it cam on over a short time unassociated with walking it could be a recurrence of infection. Sometimes means nothing just breaking up of scar tissue. See your doc sooner than latter if cannot put weight on foot or persists.
