A sprained knee can be mild or severe. It is important to be evaluated to understand the severity of the injury and to make a plan for recovery. This might involve rest, bracing, therapy, or even surgery.
It depends on how badly it is sprained and in what way. I believe a brace will help you heal and support you while walking.
