It's very common for Motor vehicle accident victims to be very sore and bruised for days/weeks after the event. If you could walk on your knees immediately after the accident, you're unlikely to have done anything serious to your new joints. However if your inability to weight bear continues, then you'll need to see someone. In the meantime, take some non-steroidals (like Brufen), assuming you have no aspirin/non-steroidal allergy and assuming you don't have bad asthma.
