The word felt should be replaced by the word fell, and the word in should be changed to the word on. The revised sentence would be:
i broke my leg when I fell down on the street.

To say you felt down in the street would literally mean that you experienced how soft the down--soft feathers from a chicken, goose or other bird--was on your skin while you were in the street. An unusual way to break a leg. If you were to say you fell down--say, you tripped over a discarded sandwich--that would make the broken leg sound more likely.
