My first guess would be a plantar wart, but it's hard to diagnose online

It is also possible that this is a neuroma. Which is literally a tumor. Non malignant. Can be removed with surgery. Should be checked first by her general Dr who will refer her to a podiatrist if appropriate.

Twisted muscle could be a possibilty, or she stretched it too far and the muscles got worn. If it has been going on for more then a day, go to a doctor, it could be serious.

a bone spur! A bone spur is a calcium deposit or fragment of bone under the tissue. They are removed surgically

Sounds like a planters wart, which isn't as bad as it sounds. My daughter had one, and hers was just like you described yours. It would be a good idea for you to let your family dr. look at it.
