Broken ankles: It is highly unlikely you are playing or even walking on broken ankles. Seek the advice of a physician that can do a physical exam and determine what the injury is

No: It sounds like you have torn the ligaments that support your ankles. If football is your profession or passion, you can have the ligaments surgically repaired.
