Sounds like cartliage problems, the knee has a safety mechanism if you injure / tear your cartliage. If you put too much pressure on it, it just gives way and you fall down. See a doctor to get it checked out.

Could also be ligament strain or soft tissue damage round your knee from over extension.

Rest it, keep it elevated and use an ice pack and compression bandage for any swelling.

When you do exercise make sure you warm up properly with stretching, your PE teacher should know how.

Best to get it checked out if still painful or causing problems.
