I was in ballet and holding onto the barre while my foot was facing straight, i slowly turned my knee inwards and it "popped" acl tear?

Unknown: An acl tear would usually occur with more stress put on the ligament than as described by your scenario, but it can not be ruled out either. With any knee pain and a pop, you need to get an evaluation and imaging testing ordered. Best wishes.
