Hey there! If you are a sports person, please go for a sports physio as a sports physio has his or her specialization in that field and in due course will help you return back to sports in good way. The general resting period required post acl reconstruction and meniscus repair is 2 weeks on an average. You should not start walking now at home.
Get well soon. Take care.

You need to go for physio sessions for over 2 -3 weeks, you cant walk as of kow on your own with pressure on the leg.
The physio will help you in recovering the movement of the knee and slowly you can start walking under the supervision.
Any qualified physio will help you in this.
