Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you need to take proper rest and splint. If you start walking or putting weight so early then you may damage your ligament and it can cause further harm. So I would suggest you to meet with your doctor and asked him to give you brace or splint so that you will be able to walk with that.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
