Crutches: Yes. Have your knee checked, you may have a rupture in your bursa or another cause for your knee pain. All the best.

Full exam ASAP: If you experienced instability in your knee and potentially a dislocation you need a full exam in the hospital ASAP to make sure that the blood vessels and nerves in the back of your knee have not been injured and to safely stabilize and evaluate the neurovascular status of your lower extremity and the function of your knee and associated ligaments and tendons . Good luck.

I would rule out: A clot and consider a bakers cyst, see an orthopedist.
