Ankle Pain with no injury?

I am a 28 year old pregnant woman who is faily athletic. I have never suffered any injuries to my ankles. Yesterday, I went on a shopping spree for about an hour for maternity clothes. Shortly after I returned home and was sitting for about an hour. During that time I started to feel some stiffness and soreness on the inside of my left ankle. After the hour, I got up to walk and my ankle was very sore. Moving it front to back isn't as bad, but side to side motion is very painful. I walk hesitantly with a limp and walking is very painful. There is a place on the inside of my ankle that if I push on it, it is extrmely painful. I have no swelling, bruising, or redness. The strange thing is, I didn't injure it, AT ALL. I cannot roll my ankle or stand on it without pain. This has been going on for more than 12 hours. What could this be? Can anyone help?
