Okay yesterday afternoon I was playing basketball outside in my backyard just shooting hoops when I was about to shoot and my ankle twitches or something and I go bending down to the ground with pain shooting thru my ankle.
Now last night I put ice on it and elevated it in bed but this morning it still hurt to walk on. It hurts to put weight on it when bending your leg at a angle like when walking. And when I walk I have to limp because it hurts when I walk on it. I mean I can stand and everything but it hurts to move it like when walking. And I feel warmth on it sometimes.
I have to go to school tommorow and I have a feild trip Thursday and gym Wednesday.
If it still hurts tommorow should my mom take me to the doctor?
And at school should I wear like :

It isn't bruised either.
Any advice?

Just rest it, it'll be better in 2, 3 days/.

The main muscle in your leg is called the Peroneus longus which goes into your ankle. You have probably strained this muscle. For now apply ice packs on your ankle and on the outside muscle of the leg , for fifteen minutes at a time and keep the foot elevated.
You definitely should have your mother take you to the doctor tomorrow. You have to make sure exactly what has happened. You also want to stop this from becoming a bigger problem.
