Likelihood of it being a broken bone?

Just got up to make dinner, opened the fridge door and one of the shelves in the door collapsed, it had three full jars of pasta sauce in it that fell directly on to the top of my foot. Luckily only got a slight cut from the glass but I now have a big hard lump on the top of my foot that's not there on the other one. I can touch it and it's not too painful which is making me think it won't be broken but it hurts to walk on it. Can't go to a&e tonight as dh is at work and I'm on my own with two dc. Obviously if it's still there in the morning I'll get it looked at but has anyone ever had similar? Apologies for the pic as I'm sure no one wants to see feet but I was trying to get a pic of where the lump is Blush

My 2 year old recently broke her foot (she has brittle bone disease), and after the initial upset, she didn’t appear in any pain. She let me touch her foot, move it, move her toes, she just wasn’t weight bearing. Took her to A&E and she had broken a bone, so definitely worth getting it checked!

Just to update, it's a hairline fracture! Got it checked this morning, thanks for all the advice

Jolly good thing you got it checked, walking on it could have caused long term damage. Have they put you in a boot for a bit or have you just got to rest it while it settles down?
