Soft tissue vs bone: Most likely you have a crush injury of the soft tissues at the top of your foot. This will cause pain, bruising, and a bit of swelling. If you can't bear weight normally you could have broken a bone, though this is less likely. If you are concerned, see a doctor for an exam and possible xrays.
