It seems likely to be ligamental injury.
Use ankle support for few days.

If there is improvement with ice and medication probably it’s superficial bruise not any underlying ligament damage.
You can wait for a week before getting any investigation done

Any twisting injury will result in some level of ligament sprain. You should give it rest and avoid weight bearing for atleast 5 days. Continue ice and medication. If no improvement get and xray done.
