You have a bony avulsion of ACL from the tibia with the anterior horn of lateral meniscus also attached to the fragment.
You need surgery for the same at the earliest. The bony avulsion needs to be fixed arthroscopically.
If you choose to not get operated now due to COVID you may need ACL reconstruction surgery in future.
