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.
