Yes, but do it with a "walking boot" for protection from further abuse. As a matter of fact, most orthopedic surgeons ask their post-op patients who have had full breaks or hip replacements to try and walk around within 1-2 days after surgery. Seems that the increased activity provides a normal amount of stress to increase osteoblasts to help increase bone healing at the injured site.
