So i fell and hurt my knee. it is bruised and it is swollen and hurts when i bend it. should i get it checked out?

Sounds like : You already checked it out...At age 18 it is difficult to really mess up knee without a good application of external force. Generally if you are able to get up and walk on it you are going to be fine. Expect resolution or continuous improvement over next several days. Bruised area will be sore for a while longer and bruising may "spread" over next few days.
