Is the bump warm? If this is the case, it may be an abscess, which could explain his decrease in appetite, due to the infection present.
Abscesses can develop quickly - one minute the area is fine and the next it is swollen and warm.
A course of antibiotics will make him feel as good as new, but depending on the severity, the vet may have to also drain the risen area.

- Abscess: As stated earlier, an abscess will need to be looked at by a vet.
- Trauma: Your dog could have suffered an injury to his nose. If it doesn't seem serious, then the bump will reduce in a few days.
- Allergy: The bump could be an allergic reaction to something. Allergies can be quite common in dogs and they sometimes appear very quickly.
