On Friday I slipped down a hill and messed up my ankle I had a very bad pain and tried to walk it off but I couldn't within 10 mins it was very swollwn but no bruising. I kept my foot elevated until today and the swelling has gone down a bit. the only way I xan walk is on my heel because it still hurts a lot if i try to walk. At times when I'm trying to walk it's either the Tibia or Talus bone that hurts it sort of moves I'm not sure.

Absolutely if a bone is moving freely in your ankle area probably a good idea to go to the hospital because then you can have surgery right away if indicated. If not make an appointment with a podiatrist if they perform ankle surgeries if not an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in ankles. Gotta have an xray!!! maybe even an MRI if soft tissue damage is suspected.

Hello, well what I would suggest is getting it looked at. If you are around here we are able to see you as soon as possible. But I would suggest a dr taking a look at it.
You should have it looked at by a local Podiatrist or Foot & Ankle ortho who can X-ray your foot to r/o a fracture. Given the history and symptoms sounds like you might have a ligament injury for which you may need a MRI and treatment accordingly. Treatment can vary from simple immobilization to Surgery depending on what is found on the diagnostic tests.
You need to have your leg x-rayed. You can come to my office any time. Ice and elevate and use crutches if available.
At the very least get an x-ray
