The most common cause for a sudden appearance of a "bump" in an eyelid is a stye / chalazion. These represent a blocked oil gland in the eyelid with a variable amount of inflammation. Sort of like a pimple of the eyelid. There is almost always some tenderness when these first occur. Warm compresses help to speed their going away. Occasionally, a stye / chalazion will need to be drained.
On the other hand, you did not mention tenderness and the photo shows more surface discoloration than it does an actual "bump" taking up space in the eyelid. In such a case, the diagnoses of wart or skin tag are certainly possible. Those would be on the surface of the eyelid skin. A stye / chalazion is deeper and within the substance of the eyelid.
So, if there was any tenderness when this occurred and there is an actual bump in the eyelid, treat this like a chalazion and use the warm compresses. If the "bump" does not get better within a week or two, see an ophthalmologist for diagnosis and possible removal.
