My knee caps turn inwards (my knees dont touch though). as a result, my shins are bowed outwards, and my legs are crooked. anything i can do?

Yes: I would not hesitate to be seen where a thorough exam and standing X-rays of your entire lower extremities could give a lot more info. There are non surgical treatments such as physical therapy and bracing that could potentially help your symptoms, or you would have to decide if it is bad enough to consider surgery.
