Dog’s broken leg

I let our little dog chico outside this morning with the big dogs because he had been looking outside and had seen people passing by, and of course heard the other dogs barking, he wanted to go out too. within a few minutes i heard him crying as if he was hurt. we immediately went to bring him in, and my daughter said she had seen one of the bigger dogs standing over him, she thought he may have stepped on chico. he stopped crying, but he is really favoring his left back leg. he’ll take a few steps and then lift it, so i know that it is bothering him. he seems able to bend the leg, and nothing appears to be in the pads of his foot, nothing looks swollen. what should i be looking for and what can i do for him til i’m able to call the vet tomorrow?
