It is very difficult to comment just by history that whether it is fracture or ankle sprain. My advice it that you should get x ray of your ankle, because some time even slightest injury can damage ankle joint. I hope that it turns out a sprain only. You may need few days bed rest, pain killers like diclofenec and violini gel. At present you should keep it elevated over a pillow and apply ice over it.
