Honestly, it could be either. Without seeing Lola in person and doing x-rays, I can't say for certain if her leg is broken or just hurt. Limping is a sign of pain in dogs, so if she is limping everywhere, she is in a lot of pain. I'd take her into a vet immediately to get checked out, it would be wrong to leave her in this condition. Best of luck.
