Get some ice on it quick.
The way you can tell is, hold your leg where you think it's broken. Try pulling it gently. Now try wiggling it around very gently. Now try pushing it into the ground as if you were stepping on the floor. If any of these three hurt a LOT you probably broke your leg. I would suggest going to the doctor in case you happened to sever an artery or do anything really harmful, plus you don't want it to set the wrong way. If it doesn't hurt a lot from those, put some ice on it and wait for tomorrow, then wee how it is. If a large bruise starts developing, you still need to go.
