Maybe his foot got stuck in the cage, this happens relatively often with guinea pigs. for now i would recommend to monitor it for a couple days, in most cases the swelling will go down within a few days and the limping should improve. if the condition doesn't get any better you should then take him to the vet to get it checked and treated.
