GIF stands for: Graphic Interchange Format, which is already an animation.

The new recently enforced policy of Twitter to no longer allow animated GIFs affect mostly people who have tried to add a GIF to their profile after the policy was instated. For individuals that already had an animated GIF they will be allowed to keep it, but if it is ever changed, the individual then can no longer use an animated GIF.
