Please tell us what part of the leg you are unable to move.
Are you saying that you cannot dorsiflex your ankle joint?
If so, you have peroneal nerve palsy.

It was on osteotomy site nothing to worry. Your doctor didn't break your bone properly at the time of osteotomy. But still you need xray to know now in which way bone get fracture. If it is till screw site , you are in trouble

'i can't move my leg up like before' does not seem to mean that your leg is paralyzed, but that you are worried about swelling in your leg and don't want to move it.
It could be a herniated muscle bump as you say, in which case no worries.
By the way, you need a doctor's opinion after all, but can't you get one on the weekend?
