What Precaution Needed While Walking?

Hi, I stepped on a twig/ kind like a cat tail hard pokey stick like thing and it punctured the bottom of my foot. I cleaned it, nothing seemed like it was stuck. It hurts to walk on it( which is probably normal) but my question is should I walk a lot or rest and walk just enough so it does not tense up?
