If you are at all concerned about a fracture or break, then you should go to a doctor and get xrays. If it is just a twist or sprain, then you should ice it for a few days and then get right to work exercising it, so that scar tissue doesn't build up and totally immobilize it. The fastest and best way to heal a sprained ankle is to do exercises to increase mobility and strength in the injured joint, so long as you don't cause pain. Take it slowly and continue to do exercises specifically designed to help the ankle joint.
The best exercises I've found are in the HEM system for ankle sprains. It worked wonders for me.... http://www.rehabanklesprain.com
