Here there is only one way of checking it, that is visit a ortho or physio doctor. With out checking it physically we can not guide you. Knee is one joint where even if there is a internal damage of ligament or menisci injury person can use the cold pack frequently and can recover up to some extent
But complete recovery may not be possible. So I suggest to visit a doctor get it evaluated properly since you have swelling and pain and if there is range block then I am sure there must be internal damage to. Doctor may ask to go for MRI if needed. You can go ahead with this and based on report orthopedic will give you either surgical or conservative physiotherapy plan along with some medication which you can follow as it is. And I am sure you will recover if this is followed step by step.
Take care.
