What are some things that I can try to know if my foot is broken?

Check your foot for swelling, bruising, or obvious deformity. Check for pedal pulses at the top of your foot. Consult your doctor because x-ray is the only definitive diagnosis.

Is there swelling, bruising, water retention? Does it feel hot and red? You could also have someone gently pull your foot forward, you should not be experiencing discomfort, but if you do, see a doctor. Support the heel of your foot and have someone pull the top of your foot.

Try to move your foot around. If you can not move it. It is broken. Also but pressure on it. If the bone is sticking out of the skin. It is broken.

You absolutely need immediate medical attention if you break any bone. It will be very painful and will turn black and blue. You will be unable to move it. If you can't get an appointment with your doctor right away, go to the emergency room.
