Broken Forearm Issues and Help Needed

I am 16 and had a both-bone forearm fracture on 31 August, which was reduced and treated with a long-arm plaster cast. My recent follow-up X-ray was about 1 week ago and I was told the alignment was fine. Today, at around 4 weeks after the fracture, I moved my whole casted arm from approximately 90° to around 110° relative to the ground.

At the same time, the plaster suddenly started feeling less snug throughout the arm, although it is not obviously sliding or rotating.

I can move all my fingers normally, and they are normal in colour and temp
