I walked for a long time, and suddenly my joint of the big toe feels painful. why?

Stop the walk talk.: Walked for a long time, I assume means, recently walked. You have over stress the toe, The tissues around the toe have been injured and now need time to recover. The pain is probably temporary and will go away with rest and time. I doubt that it is injured to the point of fracturing, but an x-ray might be appropriate, if there is swelling associated with the pain.
