Hello,
It could be a contusion. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
If lesion persists, you can consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. In that case, you might require an MRI scan for further assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
