From the nature of injury you described you seem to have ligament injury but yes of course you can have a fracture even if you are able to wriggle your toes.
You should get an xray done of your ankle and see your orthopaedician at the earliest.
Meanwhile you can apply ice packs and take antiinflammatory medicine like ibuprofen to reduce your pain
