Don't walk on it: Use crutches and no pe. Use an ace bandage and see a podiatrist to determine what grade of sprain it is.

OTC Ankle brace: You're better off using an otc brace or splint that trying to tape yourself up at home. It's not as easy as the professional trainers make it look. You could also just see a podiatrist - many of us stock simple braces for simple sprains. You can go to school, just be careful and limit walking - and no pe class!
