Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
It looks from your details that most probably yo may be having sprain at your ankle.You should at least have a x ray of foot to rule out any bony injury.Til then you should do rest.Apply a soft ace bandage from below upward on your leg from foot.Do cold fomentation with ice pack.
For relief of pain you may have a good analgesic like advil.
Hope this will help you.
With best wishes.
