Your leg is retaining fluids. If the indentation eventually evens out. The condition is called edema. Many reasons for this, but among the most serious is Cellulitis. If the leg and foot are redder than usuall, it is even more clearly so.
If the indentations remain for more than a minute or so, that particular symptom is called dimple edema.
Because of the mention of pain, I would seriously recommend you see a doctor. He can better diagnose this and give you medications to, at least reduce the swelling.

It sounds like a muscle contraction to me in the leg. Try slowly stretching your leg and holding it. Don't do anything too hard on it either. It should go away soon. As for your foot, I'm not sure...
