You need an xray, to see if it is broken
sprains usually only happen when you twist it
CAN"T PUT WEIGHT ON IT USUALLY MEANS BROKEN GO TO THE ER

Have to get an xray. That's the best way to tell a sprain from a fracture

It sounds like it is broken if you are not able to put weight on it. You need to go to the ER and have it X rayed, putting more pressure on it can cause further damage.

It sounds like you've got a very deep bruise at least. Try icing it and taking asperin or a comparable pain-killer. If it's really bad, get a doctor to look at it and make sure nothing's broken.
good luck!
