i was skateboarding and i slipped then my leg touched the floor first but was straightended therefore resulting in the knee joint buckling and bending inwards. hospital have said its just a sprain but when i place my body weight onto it it still wants to flex inwards. what is it i have actually done to my knee?

What you describe sounds like you have some instability in your knee - perhaps a ligament sprain. I would follow up with the doctor if this doesn't improve in the next few days.
