Suggest Treatment For Pain Due To Sprain In Ankle

I was playing basketball and landed on the side of my foot, ankle is fine but foot hurts a lot, it s not swelling but can t really put pressure on it, I can move all my toes and the whole foot but motion is limited and there is some pain. Is this just a really bad sprain or a fracture a little worried because I can t really put any weight on it.
