Today she caughty hand and walked a steps. Suddenly she twisted her foot and cried in pain. What could have happened? Would the bones got fractured again or it is a sprain.

Lesser chance of refracture just by a twisting injury
Mostly can be sprain , but if it is progressive and localised to the site of previous fracture then better get a repeat x ray done
Next Steps
Give her rest for 3-4 days and apply ice packs

Repeat xray as newly united fractures when loaded suddenly might refracture. Better to rule out with xray
