Hi,
You must have suffered muscle fiber tear or a ligament tear over the area. You can take some analgesics like paracetamol available over the counter and wait for the injury to heal. If the condition doesn't become better then you can get an MRI done for your knee to know the injury.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
