It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You may check the "lump" every couple of weeks, if it doubles in size, becomes painful, other lumps appear, or nodes in you groin enlarge, it would be prudent to see a doctor. Wish you good health!

I have had a small lump on the end of my right testicle for about half a year, didnt really worry and I did it today, it is about the size of a Newtons cradle ball, no pain anywhere. I masturbate frequently, so I thought cyst maybe?

Likely benign but you should see a doctor, ultrasound of the testicle should be done.
