Definitely it is not ok . You need to get evaluated for your injury . There could be a fracture or a ligament tear.

First get X ray of your foot and consult an Orthopedic doctor and if everything is fine then you can fly .

But I doubt everything if fine and you might be asked for rest for atleast 1 week .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
