That is odd and they don't sound related. However, if only one side is locked, it could be the parking brake that has broken (in the rear of the rotor) or a caliper has locked or binded. Remove the caliper to see if you can turn the axle. Also, check the parking brake shoes (behind and in the rotor) to see if something has broken and locked.
