Sounds like you may have disturbed something with the speed sensor in that wheel but you need to have the codes read to be sure.

No, all four wheels have sensors. The only accurate test is using a lab scope and I doubt anyone at Autozone even knows how to read one.
Inspect the sensor and related wiring and make sure there isn't anything obvious first.
Also check your brake fluid level.
