Get checked: You may have cracked your "tailbone" or coccyx. Especially as the injury occurred with what sounds like normal movement, best to get checked to see what might have happened. You did not mention pain, but if pain is there definitely be seen.

Coccyx: You may have dislocated your coccyx. An x-ray should reveal it. If so, it can be treated with reduction or resection if it booths you.
