What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of A Hyperextended Knee?

Hello, last night I believe I hyper-extended my knee, but cannot be sure. Can you tell me some signs and symptoms and if seeing a doctor is necessary? I took a sideways step, and it felt like my knee came off the hinges so to speak. No difference in pain today.
