hi
You may have an x ray taken for ankle and foot and consult orthopedics doctor.keep foot and leg elevated and try hot fomentation now.The ankle should be properly strapped by elastocrepe bandage after applying anti inflammatory gel and fermentation.Even if its sprain only , differ standing or walking for 10 days unless your orthopedic doctor finds minor sprain and permits weight bearing.
best wishes.
