Your bones may be healed, but your nerves and the wounds are probably still healing. PT could definitely help with moving your ankle. My ankle was in splints and casts for 6 weeks after surgery. That means it didn't move even the tiniest bit for 6 weeks. I've been in PT for 2 weeks now. They give me exercises to work on at home and when I'm there they physically move my ankle in different ways. I have significantly more range of motion than I did 2 weeks ago. If you can't go to PT you can probably find videos on YouTube or such to help. I prefer going to a specialist, so I know I'm not doing things that might harm me further. Good luck!

They do! Search for "cast toe cover sock" and there's a couple of options. I actually just cut down a pair of fuzzy socks and used that to cover my toes. Worked fantastically.
