Hurts isn't putting weight on his leg because he is in pain, and that may lead him to not eating. But it's very serious he's not eating, drinking, and not going to the bathroom. I think that, due to this, he should see a vet now. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
