What Could A Bump In The Penis Indicate That Becomes Prominent During Erection?

Hi, today when i was with my girlfriend, she noticed a bump at the base of my penis (above it) when i got an erection. she said it was not there a couple of days ago. at normal , you can feel it when you press down with your finger which feels like a small knot or notule that you can move around. Concerned as it is a weekend and cannot call my doctor?
