Yes: You could have fractured your kneecap (worst case scenario). If nothing is actually broken you can still have significant pain from the traumatic swelling. It is also possible that you have disrupted a ligament inside the knee. Go to your doctor or an urgent care for exam and possible x-ray.

Knee pain: If ice, compression and rest have not helped, then you should get in to be seen and make sure you do not have a fracture or something else. Good luck.
