Sprain or broke: Since you live in Las Vegas, NV and probably like to gamble you can just wait and tough it out. But since you say that you're walking you probably just suffered a sprain of your ankle. On the other hand you might've damaged your knee. Go to your doc or the ER and find out. Your playing the long odds by waiting!
