You will know if your hip is dislocated because you will have had a major accident, and are unable to stand or move your leg at all. It is also possible that your hip is not dislocated, and that you may have just broken your leg. Usually these sorts of injuries require a direct trip to the emergency room. There are some with a condition called hip dysplasia which means that their hip socket never developed properly. Those with bad hip dysplasia may have a chronically dislocated hip (usually in children), that they may be able to walk on and isn’t super painful.
