The tire should be replaced as soon as possible, as it starting to come apart. A bubble on the sidewall is typically caused by an impact with something (usually a pothole). The belt on the sidewall is broken and air is forcing the sidwall to bulge

And also don't put too much air in it.. as it heats up the tire will expand and bad things can happen

I wouldn't chance driving on it - not even just to the tire shop. I'd swap the spare on, and use that.

Oh, the tire might still be under warranty, maybe they'd cover part of the cost.
