In brief: Possibly
It could be broken, sprained or contused.
The myth that one can't walk on a broken bone is just that;a myth. Go get an -ray, rest, ice, elevate, compress and take otc advil, tylenol (acetaminophen) etc until you are properly diagnosed and treated.

In brief: Sounds likt it
Only an x-ray will tell for sure.
How can it be sore to touch but not painful when you put your weight on it? Go get an x-ray.
