You should first call 911, telling them not to move, second, use the first aid kit materials, then wait for the professionals.

Hey there!

The first thing I would do is tell the friend to not panic. Panicking just makes things a lot worse since she is probably scared. Then I would call the ambulance so they could take care of the friend by getting more into detail of what happened to his/her ankle. I would suspect that she got injured because she wasn't paying attention while exercising and possibly got distracted somehow and fell.
If she/he was bleeding I would wrap their ankle so that way blood would not get all over the floor. After all that, I would try to calm the friend down if he/she were still panicking and wait for the ambulance to arrive.

Hope this helps you.
Have a great day!
