Depends on what you mean by stretch. You can actually begin to work on the range of motion rather quickly following a sprain depending on severity. Worst thing to do is nothing.
If you can't bear a lot of weight, write the aphabet with your foot or make circles with your ankles to get started.
You can also ice down your ankle before exercising it to take the edge off the pain.
Use the level of pain as your guide for intensity of effort and range and increase progressively without causing further irritation.
RICE as needed.
