Under bottom jaw bone

Under my bottom jaw. There is something that is soft that has moved away from the jaw bone or under the jaw bone. This is happening on one side of the jaw. The other side seems to be in place.
What could this be?

Thank you,

There are several structures in that area.  The most likely would be your submandibular gland.  I suggest you see your dentist or physican for an evaluation to make sure it is nothing serious.
