Twisted Knee While Falling, Unable To Straighten, Paining. Remedy?

Hi my daughter hurt her knee when going down a slide with her friends she said it twisted and she was in agony, the pain eased off and she manages to walk on it with a limp, but since she did it 2 days ago she as not been able to straighten it at all... She has pain when she tries to and says it feels locked. She is 9. She says it is aching more today too.

Please show an orthopedic in. She may need a MRI exam if ligament tear is suspected.
