Answers:
Sounds like patellofemoral pain syndrome. You should ask your parents to take you to see an orthopedic doctor to have the knees looked at and then get a referral from the doctor for physical therapy to strengthen your leg muscles.

Cut it off and attach a roller blade, you could get around like that. no really if your having those types of problems you need to go get it looked at. Try ice and heat with wrapping for a night and see how that works.

Yes it looks like a sprain. Sprains are injuries to the joints and the ligaments. Try using an ice pack for tem minutes. Keep your leg elevated and rest. If the pain and the cracking feeling and the swelling persist you should se a doctor. Knees are vey complex joints and take the weight of our body. Good luck and take care.
