You can wear a brace do physical therapy. If still problematic seek evaluation

Based on your question, it is not clear whether your knee is giving out due to ligament damage such as an ACL tear, muscle weakness or patellofemoral syndrome. The best advice is to have a knee specialist evaluate you to find out exactly what is wrong. A brace could help, but wearing a brace more than 6 hours a day leads to advancing weakness which could make you worse in the long run.
