I sprint and my groin is pretty badly tweaked and it causes pain with running.
I can weight train with no problems, but should I be doing anything else over the next 3 weeks until I see the doctor? Like is a bunch of A/B skips the right idea?

I had an adductor tendon strain grade 2/3 - absolutely awful injury. You don't want to mess with this.
this is a silly post. you don't work out with a leg/groin injury unless you want it to be long term drag or permanent. you shut down and at most do upper body work sitting down.
next thing you'll be one of the folks on here like can i train with my hammy tweak.
Different area but probably similar problem:
Ben Johnson's coach Charlie Francis had a protocol for hamstring strains. You can find it online. iirc day 1 was rest with intermittent ice. Days 2-3-4 had movement like marching with high knee but high knee only on the uninjured side. Following days moved to cautiously working both sides lightly. Within 3 weeks the athlete was ready to race. This is just my recollection, and of course it would be different for groin tweak. The point is, don't just sit for 3 weeks.
I have 0 pain squatting, it’s the adductor longus so it only engages when my legs are very close to closed or my thigh rotates inwards — in a squat, power clean, or sumo deadlift this never happens.
I’d be keen to remain on topic and would suggest that assuming I’m not actively trying to ruin my season would facilitate better discourse?
Just rest.
Had a “pulled groin” off and on for 18 months. it was a stress fracture
