Can't weight bear on knee

I slipped on a stepping stone at the weekend while out for a walk, I slipped into the water then smacked my knee off the stepping stone. It hurt so bloody much but after a sit down was able to get back to the car ok. Walking on it is alright but I absolutely cannot weight bear, the pain is agonising if I weight bear like earlier when I was hanging washing up and accidentally kneeled on it. It's been 5 days now and wondering if it needs looked at or whether it will get better in a week or so. Anyone had similar/any advice? I never go to the doctors and struggle to find the time so looking for some advice first!

If you can't weight bear and are in a lot of pain you should probably go to A and E to get an X ray.

If you have broken something and it heals badly it will be painful and difficult for months if not years.

I'm not in pain when I'm just resting and I can walk on it ok therefore I didn't think it could be broken if I can walk ok? But I've never broke a bone before so not too sure.
