There's three things that can turn the red brake warning light on. Pull the parking brake pedal all the way up by hand. If the light goes off, a parking brake cable is broken, stretched, or out-of-adjustment. If the light stays on, check the fluid level in the master cylinder. If it's low, just add enough to turn the light off. Never fill it to the top without investigating the reason it's low first.

What do you mean by "one of my brakes don't want to move". Do you mean the brake doesn't apply? That wheel is locked up and won't turn?
