You didnt inform us: How the injury occured which would help. Nonetheless, i would recommend you see a foot doc who may decide to order an MRI depending on their clinical findings.

Possible sprain: Not sure about mechanism of injury (twist, fall, hit by a car, etc) so just from the swelling and bruise it could be possibly a sprain. Also, could be injury to the joint, tendon, or bone but unable to be sure without imaging or fully history and exam. Hope you see your doctor for referral to a specialist. Best of luck.

Bad sprain.: It could be a bad sprain, or you may have an underlying fracture. you should see a non-surgical sports medicine specialist.
