Fibula takes less than 10% of your body weight. Mostly it is left as such unless it is fractured near ankle. At 6 weeks it's not usually advised to start full weight bearing. You should start ankle and knee exercises and partial weight bearing.It usually takes 3 months or more in healing of lower limb fracture however remodelling may continue for an year or so. Radiographs will clarify the situation.

Dont worry about fibula that is small bone and non_weight bearing. It ll take atleast 12 week for tibia to heal

Fibula can be left without any consequence usually unless near the lower
end. Cannot comment further without xrays.
