You should see an orthopedic doctor about this - the ankle is a very complicated joint with a dozen or so bones involved. The doctor should be able to get the bones back into alignment and then immobilize the joint so the bones don't move. Once everything is locked in place, the rest is up to time and your body to fix. You must be very careful to not place weight on the broken ankle, not twist or rotate the ankle and in general stay off the leg entirely. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to accomplish this.
