Calf Hematoma: Most likely you have a hematoma which is a collection of blood from the muscle being injured. You can use a heating pad to loosen it up. If it continues then you need to go to an ER/Urgent Care/Primary care for evaluation. Sometimes physical therapy will also help to alleviate the pain.
