its unlikely any bones are broken as it is unlikey given the exercise involved. However more likely and probably even worse is that it would be a tendon/ligament of some kind that snapped under the strain of the weight. You need to check it out with a doctors either way, if the bone is broken as you suspect you may need a cast, if a tendon or ligament has snapped it may need to be reattached by surgery. Obviously these are this is the worst case scenario, I'd give it a day or so, if it is still sore get your ass down to a docs because the longer you leave damaged the less likely it will heal correctly.
