Swollen ankles is also know as ankle edema. It's an excessive fluid buildup in the muscles, or in other words, a rapid increase in weight. Slight swelling may be due to standing for too long or walking too much.

Why does my sprained ankle have a lot of swelling but not a lot of pain?

If you have sprained your ankle previously you may have already completely ruptured the ligament (ATF ligament, likely). Subsequent experiences of rolling your ankle may result in rupturing blood vessels (leading to swelling/bruising) but little pain because there is no ligament left to actually sprain. That, and you are likely quite lax in the ankle joint, meaning it happens easily.
