It definitely needs medical attention.
You need to rule out a fracture if pain is severe, and ankle fractures are a bit tricky in their recovery.
You would be advised to get X ray done.
If the pain is bearable and mild, there may be some ligament injury, which requires local application of diclofenac gel and some crepe bandaging.
