I was at a full sprint and fell hard on one knee, now it hurts to the touch, but also hurts when i move it at all. a little swollen. anything serious?

Could be: You need to be examined and likely an x-ray-it could be fractured or a ligamentous or meniscus injury. Your PCP may refer you to an Orthopedic Surgeon.
