Can you walk?: If you can walk/ weightbear or stand with no pain it usually is not broken and more likely a sprain. Immobilize, ice compression and ibuprofen if no contraindications such as GI bleeding or allergies to anti inflammatories. If not better in 4 was see doctor.

Maybe : If you can stand on that leg without much pain , you're OK. If there is a lot of swelling, pain, clicking noises, bruising etc. then go to the ER of your local hospital to see if the ankle is broken or only sprained.
