Sprained my ankle a week ago, its still swollen and bruised, and quite painful to touch, and hurts to walk. is this normal?

No. It is not feasible to rule out a fracture without examining you and may be doing an x-ray. You may wish to see your doctor or visit an ER.

Your signs are more significant than just a sprain. See an orthopedist for an x-ray and treatment. Stay off of leg and soak in EPSOM salts, if no relief see the doctor now.
