Essentially, you probably wouldn't be able to walk, or it would be insanely painful to even attempt to, the severity of a broken leg or even worse. When people sever their Achilles tendon and it becomes detatched from the bone, they usually can't walk, because you need the muscle to move the bone for limb movement. Some kind of surgical treatment is usually required as soon as possible after the injury occurs, followed by a period of resting the limb.

Are tendons lumps against the bone?
Not necessarily, tendons attach the muscle to the bone, so when your muscles contract they move your bones causing body movement, for example, your Achilles tendon attaches the gastrocnemius (big outer calf muscle) and soleus (inner calf muscle) to your calcaneous (heel), and when they contract, you take a step. Now that is not all that makes you take a step, but you get the idea anyway.
