I'm not a physician so take this with a grain of salt, but it could be tendon strain, which can lead to serious complications if you continue the action that's causing the strain. I'd be careful running at the very least, make sure you are warming up properly and stretching afterward. When you stretch, don't hold it if it hurts, do it in sets with reps of 5 seconds or less. Pay attention to your form and posture, and be cognizant of your foot falls, making sure you are landing on the lateral edge of your foot which will dampen the impact on your ankles, knees, hips, and spine. It is possible that it's just from being a beginner and your body will adjust as it gets used to the movement, but we can't feel your pain so the only way to get a true answer is to have the ankle looked at by a physician.

Also, keep in mind that running is an extremely high impact activity and produces a lot of strain on even well conditioned bodies. I don't know what kind of shape you're in, but if you're overweight and you have access to a gym, it would probably be better to build up your cardio using ellipticals or bikes.

Good luck, I hope it's not tendon strain but this is definitely something to take seriously if it's happening every time you run. I want to say give it another week, but I have to disclaim that I really don't know if that's good advice, it honestly may be harmful.
