Could be a sprain: You could have a sprain or bursitis, but it should be checked if pain continues.

A good physical : Exam is needed as many structures could of been affected. You can try taking an antiinflammatory if not contraindicated and applying ice. If pain persists i would see a foot/ankle doctor.
