You should put ice on your bruise If it does not feel better than I would go to the ER.

Is it really tender to the touch? Can you bend your wrist? How swollen is it? And how did you injure it?
Judging from your comments that it's really bruised and swollen, it would very likely be fractured. You need an xray to be sure.

Hi Vanessa. Yes, you need to seek medical attention. You will not look stupid, you will look smart! You've had a serious injury - it is already bruised and swollen. It would be very wise to have it properly examined.
Best wishes and good luck.

Ice it and take some Advil to help with the pain and swelling. If you are unable to move it (normal range of motion) then you should see a doctor.
