You probably: popped off 1 of 3 tendon heads that attach Achilles tendon to calf muscle. This is why you feel pain when you walk. The tendon should grow back over next 4-6 weeks,but you could be uncomfortable for a while. I recommend you see Orthopedics to confirm this diagnosis, and do as little walking as possible..
