It's all depends on how well you treat it before you can start doing those types of movements again. Icing 2-3 times a day will help with the swelling.

After I sprained my ankle, and decrease physical activity for a week or so, I went back in progressing back into it. I started with a balance routine to help stability and strengthen tendons and ligaments. First, were sets of 1-legged balance drills:

stand on one foot and bring the other foot forward 10-15 seconds then do other foot.
stand on one foot and bring other foot out to side 10-15 sec repeat for other foot
stand on one foot and bring other foot backwards 10-15 sec repeat for other foot
.

After a few days of these, I tried to make it harder by closing my eyes. Then I started doing one legged exercises such as lunges (forward, lateral, reverse) with cool down periods standing 1-legged on a Bosu Ball. I was fine and felt confident in strength and balance after about 2 week.
