I badly sprained my ankle last fall and there was definitely a pop/snap, maybe more of just the feeling than the sound, it was hard to tell and no one was right next to me to hear. I did get it x-rayed and I definitely recommend you do as well, but it doesn't mean that it's broken - it could...

this one thing probably isn't enough to fix it but look up the "wall angels" movement it's good for opening up shoulders and upper back so that you can hold that same form in handstand or elsewhere
