Take some ibuproufen, around 800 mg and keep it elevated above your heart. Keep ice on it, and this should reduce swelling.

If you experience a limited range of motion caused by pain tomorrow or seriously abnormal sensations like numbness, see a doctor right away. Keep on with the ice and read up a bit on knee injuries. They can be totally benign or be very serious, so it is best to err on the side of caution, especially if you cannot bear weight on it. The knee is very complex, and a visit to an osteopath or FP would be free if you are insured or cheap enough to warrant the trouble if you're not.
