Hello, I just have read your problem. As you said you heard a popping sound when you get injured. There may be possibilities of tendon tear or muscle rupture or even fracture or a mild fracture in your ankle. As swelling is still persisting.
See if your joint is movable?
Are you able to walk properly?
Do you feel intense pain while walking and you feel to discontinue to walk?
Does pain settles when you take some rest?
I would suggest you to see a good ortho in your area. You need to get your X-Ray done, then only the clear picture will come

I hope this helps. Wish you a speedy recovery
Thanks
