I think you probably dislocated your kneecap rather than your knee. It's not uncommon among teenage girls, but can be extremely painful. Some people are born with shallow 'grooves' for their kneecaps to glide in, and the kneecap can therefore get pulled out of line quite easily. It will often go back by itself, or if it happens repeatedly, it may have to be pushed back by a doctor.
It can be treated, so don't worry, it's not serious and not permanent.
I'm attaching a link I found, you can see if it fits.
