First off, make sure you STRETCH and WARM-UP before you workout.
Do stationary stretches for 5-10 mins, then do a warm up (jumping jacks, light jog jog, side steps, etc.) for 5-10 mins. This will help prevent this in the future.
As for now, is the ankle swollen in any way? Use a RICE method on it... rest, ice, compression (wrapping it), elevation. Then, if you can, keep it wrapped when you get back to running.

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

If your ankle hurts, that means you probaly needs to stretch and if that dom't work, try shredding off a few pounds. Over weight could cause too much pressure on your ankles causing them to swell and occasionlly hurt. Plus overweight causes your shoes to lean to one side.

Yes, it would be good to wear an ankle brace when you run. I used to twist my ankle slightly alot when im running. And then i didn't run for a while and one day i sprinted. I sprained my ankle. After that, i kept spraining my ankle severely. So i started to wear an ankle brace for track. The ankle brace keeps me from spraining my ankle and i only twist my ankle occasionaly. With the ankle brace, i feel safer. :]

yes, just till your ankle recovers. Before you do any running Or anything warm-up and stretch. You could also strengthen your ankles by "writing" the alphabet with it. I have weak ankles and thats what i do! I also play soccer and it helps a lot!

Yes , and you might want to see a doctor about that ankle or try warming up first. Also try RICE.

I would wear a brace and walk only for a week. If the pain persists go to the Orthopedist. After a week if the pain is gone go back to your jogging gently at first and not for a prolonged time. Build back up carefully.
