Hi, welcome to health care magic forum.
As you describe, if you kick with the front part of the foot, there could be a fracture, may be hairline fracture. If you kick with the heal, the possibility of the fracture is less.
I advise you to consult an orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have an X ray of foot AP, and lateral view of the foot.
If there is a fracture plaster caste for 8 weeks may be needed.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery . Thank you.
