Not normal....: Not sure when you fell or if you already had x-rays but a swollen, red foot is not normal. You definitely need to see a doctor ASAP to figure out if you have a fracture in your foot. You also need to make sure you don’t have an infection-depending where and how you fell, it is possible you had a tiny skin opening that is now developing into a skin infection. Please see doctor ASAP! Best of luck!
