a blood clot in an intact blood vessel. A thrombus in a large blood vessel will decrease blood flow through that vessel. In a small blood vessel, blood flow may be completely cut-off resulting in death of tissue supplied by that vessel. If a thrombus dislodges and becomes free-floating, it is an embolus.
Emboli often have more serious consequences when they occur in the so-called "end-circulation": areas of the body that have no redundant blood supply, such as the brain, heart, and lungs.
Call 911 or get the hospital ASP

You definitely can get blood clots from a Charley horse. If it breaks it can cause you to have A heart attack. You need to see your medical doctor immediately.

Now--you have a life and death medical problem. Get to a doctor. If the clot beaks up and goes thru your to your brain --- severe brain damage or death
