Knee pain at 18

Question

Knee pain at 18

Asked for Male, 18 Years

My knee buckled while I was standing 5 weeks ago and I've had pain in it since then. My knee moves outward now, pops more frequently then usual, hurts to walk and stand, my knee cap looks weird and it hurts even while laying down. I'm new to living independently so I'm unsure how I should go about this.
