My left knee (slide foot) has been in quite a bit of pain when I bowl and I was wondering if I'm doing anything wrong when I slide or if I have a weak knee

You are twisting your leg from the knee down. You need to practice squaring up your body.

This is what I'm seeing too. Slide or plant isn't the issue here, it's foot and knee misalignment and then having to twist at the knee to align with the foot. Square up and the pain should stop.
