My dog and I went on a long walk yesterday and when we got home she seemed fine. My friends bigger dog later pushed her off of what she was standing on and she yelled really loud and wouldn’t let me touch her. She currently is tucking her leg in, but will lightly put it down when she eats or drinks for support. My vet isn’t in until Tuesday. What can I do until then? She has no swelling, no cuts, no lumps or bumps.

Poor Leia. I recommend resting her for the next 48 hours. No running, jumping, or playing. Take her out to toilet on a leash, and bring her right back in when she's done. If she still appears painful after this time, then I would take her into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. She may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give her any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given.
