I bumped my shin yesterday but not really hard and today it hurts so bad i can barely walk. what could cause this?

Fracture: or collection of blood near the bone or in the muscle. Even though it didn't seem very hard, unless you are on blood thinners or know that you bleed very freely, you should probably be examined and have an x-ray. You can apply ice intermittently and take acetaminophen (but not NSAIDs until examined) and keep the leg elevated. If it continues to worsen or is not better by tomorrow, go to ED.
