Three days ago I went to a movie theater. After getting out of the car, I realized I could not put too much pressure on my left leg and the knee felt twisted, as if the kneecap or something had turned itself. I hadn't gotten injured on the knee anytime recently. I don't feel any more pain now so it might've just been a simple strain, but I don't know if it's serious or not. Help?

I would say it isn't serious.
Make sure that the leg you felt this on goes all the way straight and compare to the other leg. If the leg doesn't go straight - something might have been misplaced in your knee when you got out of your car / were sitting in the car.
If your leg wouldn't go straight and you feel that something is loose in your knee for example - see an orthopedic doctor as soon as possible.
I'm speaking with personal experience here - have gone through two ACL knee surgeries so know the bits and pieces what can happen in your knee by now.
Hope this helps!
