I posted back in 2011 about this issue with my son when he was 14 months. He is now almost 3 and no other signs or issues. In fact, we did a 3.5 mile hike last week, and he walked the entire way. It was a one time thing that happened as he was learning to walk and probably overly exerted himself.
I know it is tough, but it seems that things like just "happen". My advice looking back is, if your child isn't concerned, you should not be either. If they have no pain or inability to walk for long stretches of time, don't sweat it.
Also, save yourself the trouble and DO NOT go to the ED. My friend is an ER doc, and he said that his job is to make sure nobody dies that is brought in. If you feel like your child is not in life or death immediate danger, then just get a good nights rest and wait until the AM to go to your doc.
