Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query very carefully and understood your concerns.

Leg and feet swelling isn't a side effect of Metoprolol, but is a side effect of Amlodipine. This is why you should stop Amlodipine and switch to a water pill in order toreduce feet swelling and to control BP.

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
