I Have A Metal Plate In My Right Leg From

I have a metal plate in my right leg from my knee to ankle. 2 days ago a twisted my right ankle. The swelling has spread from my outer ankle up my leg towards my calf. I can weight bear a little. The X-ray yesterday showed no breaks but the doctor thought the plate may have moved. Is this possible ? And why would swelling move up my leg? Many thanks Jane
