Normally it takes 6weeks to 8 weeks for the healing of the fracture. Since it is a fracture of fibula bone only. Rest for about 1.5 months with a plaster is sufficient. You can get back to normal activity after 2 months

Ideally cast to be kept for 6 weeks prior to mobilisation. Change what your expecting is known as callus and it will appear you don't have to worry.
Next Steps
you can start walking after your cast removal gradually. wait sometime before riding scooter because when your stopping the scooter you may end up using your legs to bring it to a halt.
