See your doctor: This is a problem that requires a face-to-face meeting with your doctor. In that meeting, your doctor will listen to you, perform a throrough examination and possibly order labs or other tests. Based on this information, he/she will be able to tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

Need an MRI: If your knee pain is the result of trauma an MRI would be needed to identify the exact area of damage. I would suggest an orthopedic opinion as a starting point.
