What Causes Severe Pain When Bending After Hit Knee Cap?

Hello, I hit my knee cap yesterday on the corner of my chair and now it hurts when I bend it, I can feel fluid inside and can barely walk on it. It also hurts a lot on the left side of my left kneecap. Can you tell me some possible problems that could be wrong?

I have studied your case with diligence.
There i s possibility of bursal injury near knee,leading to swelling.
