Avoid sitting Cross legged.
Avoid Squatting-
Quadriceps Exercises- Lie straight, make a towel role and put it under the knee, press the keen against the role, hold it for 20 secs. Repeat 20 times twice a day. This will help relieve some pain.
Core Strengthening Exercise- Straight Leg Raised With Toes Turned Outward, repeat 10 times, twice a day.
Hams Stretching- lie straight, take the leg up, pull the feet towards yourself, with a elastic tube or normal belt. repeat 10 times, twice a day.
Sports Taping- stretch the tape from both ends and apply on the affected area

You have not mentioned when you felt down.
Initially do icing to knee. use icepack.consult orthopaedic doctor. You may need to do investigation like Xray or MRI. As as there is no visible swelling so less likely to be the fracture but may have ligament or meniscus injury.
Next Steps
avoid putting on weight
