What Does A Lump On The Ankle After An Injury Indicate?

I am 20, 5.7 and got hit by a car last week, and sustained a pretty bad bruise on my shin, it has been just over a week and the pain was slightly increased and what a red bruise and swelling has appeared on my ankle below my bruise. The bruise itself is just a red circle with a large lump. the bruise is numb to touch but all around the leg is painful
