Dear,
You have significant problem in your knee.
Two ligaments -
1) ACL which is needed for stabilising the knee and
2) Meniscus which acts as a shock absorber
are both torn.
You definitely need a consultation with a Sports Surgeon and treatment accordingly.
Do not neglect the problem or do heavy workout, as the ligament tears can increase and cause you more problem.
Regards,
