If you didn't bump it , might be a blood clot?
Symptoms-

[ Swelling, usually in one leg (or arm)
Leg pain or tenderness often described as a cramp or Charley horse
Reddish or bluish skin discoloration
Leg (or arm) warm to touch
]

If you didn't hit it I would see if one of your friends would look and
see if it looks like a bruise.

But going to doctor or something would be a sure answer.

You could have bumped into something without realizing it... I do that all the time. I find mysterious bruises often. If it isn't painful, there's no hard lump, it's not warm to the touch, and it doesn't get darker or bigger, it's probably nothing to worry about.
