When do i need to go to the hospital about my ankle i fell down the stairs and cant bare any weight i don't think it is broken but its serverly bursie?

Remove doubt, now.: Severely bruised and cannot bear weight means that the potential for damage is high. Apply ice and get to the hospital as soon as convenient, . Not to do so, may increase the possibility of magnifying the problem.
