How long does it take to recover from a bone spur surgery?

It depends on what and where on your foot the spur is being removed from. Generally, with no other information, it takes 4-6 weeks

Is this just a bruise or something more on my toenail?

If it is sudden onset and only 1 day old, and you may have traumatized it, it should not be serious. Monitor for a bit. If scared, be seen.

Injured foot?

While it may be possible it is highly unlikely that “just” tight shoes would cause a Jones fracture

My heel is hurting?

Sounds like plantar fasciitis, inflammation of a ligament on the bottom of your heel. Ice, no barefoot walking, and supportive shoes to start.
