You might have ATFL- ligament injury at the ankle. Use ankle support/crepe bandage. Limited walking. Keep the injured leg elevated.

Ankle twisting can cause injuries ranging from ankle sprain to ankle fracture. However, in your case it seems this may mostly be a small sprain but it’s difficult to conclude without clinical examination. You need to consult an Orthopaedic Doctor. You may need a X-ray, but clinical examination will give more details.
