Kerr was injured as United’s Charlie Devlin scored the goal to put her team ahead in the game after 11 minutes.
The game was stopped for nearly an hour as the players were sent back to the changing rooms while Kerr received treatment on the field of play.
An ambulance was called and the game was abandoned, with no specific injury detailed.
“Charlotte was transferred to a local hospital by ambulance and her condition has improved,” said a Charlton statement.
“The club will not know the full extent of the injury until a full scan has been completed. The club would like to send its sincere thanks to Manchester United and their staff for their assistance in treating the injury.”
The Football Association released its own statement, which read: ”Everyone at the FA wishes Charlotte Kerr a full and speedy recovery following an injury during the match today between Charlton and Manchester United Women.
