How To Treat The Swollen Knee Caused From A Fall?

I was in car accident and fell out of the car 4 weeks ago leg was bruised and swollen. Now there's a bump on a leg by my knee and I pushed the bump and it moved. I can move it around in my leg. Feels like a fatty thing. I have no idea. There's a few of the little pieces in my leg that I can move around.
