Hi there.
You could have sprained your ankle. Bind the ankle up in an elastic non-adhesive bandage till the swelling comes down and keep your limb elevated. If you still feel that your ankle is unstable, you must wear comfortable shoes like Basketball shoes which can prevent twisting of the ankle again because ankle sprains can recur. Avoid walking on uneven terrain.
