Fell on a rock, can’t stand without pain
I was at a lake yesterday, and there is a log 6ft above water that you are able to jump off of. I jumped off and landed on a rock, I couldnt move my leg at all after it happened, and then I started to have slight movement. There is two huge goosebumps from the cuts on my knee that were very swollen. I put ice and evlevated my leg and swelling has went down. I still can’t walk right it feels like my leg buckles everytime. I’m also not able to make my leg straight while standing up.

Looks like you have injured you intrarticular structures like menisci or ACL /PCL.
If you feel that the knee is Dunstable, better to give it rest and proceed for MRI scan.
Depending on the grade of injury, the condition will be managed conservatively or operatively.
