How are you squatting? Do you go below parallel, or do you stop early? If you're just going to 90 degrees, that puts a LOT of force on the front of the knee. The knee isn't designed to handle those kinds of loads. If you go down further, it transfers the weight to the hips, which are much beefier and designed to handle the load.
Don't use wraps. You're covering up a problem.
Try Bulgarian split squats with lighter weight. Stretch your quads after. See what happens when you do lighter weight for a while. Also, see a doctor immediately if it gets worse, or lingers no matter what weight you use.
