Prob broken: Sounds like you may have broken your toe. It's a good idea to get x-Rays done to see the extent of the damage. GENTLY tape your pinky toe to your 4th toe and wear protective footwear, but nothing that's going to put pressure on it.

Time to see doc: Go to your doctor for evaluation. Especially since the size changes but does not seem to resolve
