Been in moonboot and crutches for 7 weeks due to torn ligaments. ankle still swollen and inflamed, can't bear any weight. is this normal?

Yikes.: This is not normal. You need to have a new set of eyes take a look at your ankle. The inflammation part is a warning that something is amiss, especially after 7 weeks.
