Yes. This needs to be evaluated and x-rayed.
I recommend you make an appointment with a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist) for diagnosis, evaluation and treatment options
If you are having pain, then you should seek medical attention. If it is not too painful, and you are able to bear weight and walk without any issues, try some Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory medication (Ibuprofen, Naproxen, etc) for the pain and swelling. Try an ankle brace or ACE wrap. Ice and elevate and rest.
Possible ligament tear or rupture which medical attention recommended.
I would go to the ER it is possible that you have a fracture. It is best to rule that out . Other possible cause could be a very bad ankle sprain.
It may resolve by itself. If not then consult with your local podiatrist.
