ACL: A complete acl tear will not heal itself. Acl reconstructions are done at all ages in active individuals. Full recovery from acl reconstruction can be 6 to 9 months if not a full year. It is not mandatory to fix the acl, but the knee will remain somewhat unstable which can lead to future injuries. Talk to your doc.

Will not heal itself: Once you have a complete ACL tear, it generally does not heal itself. You will most likely require surgery to have a stable knee again.
