Brief Answer:
Can start weight bearing

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear thanks for trusting health care magic
Yes you can start weight bearing on it but try walking slow and on leveled ground only without using stairs or pebbled paths.
Always keep a stick with you so as to facilitate the walking process in between.
Weight bearing usually promotes healing but still repeat xray after 10-14 days and get it evaluated by your doctor.
All the best.
Regards
