it sounds like you are describing crepitus that is seen and felt in osteoarthritis, the wear and tear type. one loses the cartilagenous cushion in between bones, that is the cause. Age, sports, obeisty, trauma can be some common causes, if symptoms persist or worsen, do see a doctor, good luck

Scar tissue inside the knee joint. you might have ripped something and did not know. Talk to a doc.

Damaged cartilage. If it causes a lot of pain, surgery may be in order, but if no pain, don't worry about it.

There are stones under your feet. Or your joints are grinding together. Are you in pain?
