Make sure there is not a fracture to the knee cap. That can only be done via x-ray.
Sorry to hear that your knee hurts. You may have injured your knee, or just bruised it. If it is just a superficial bruise, then it should heal up on it’s own during the next week or so. You can elevate your knee over the level of your heart by applying ice (clothing between skin and ice pack) for approximately 20 minutes to decrease swelling. If your knee continues to bother you or the pain is severe enough that you cannot put pressure on it when standing, then seek a professional examination from a Healthcare Provider. I would be happy to help you, or you can see your Primary Care Physician for help.
