Good morning,

Do you mean the hand brake or the regular brakes?

Do not drive the car until this is resolved. You can damage the engine and transmission as well as the brakes.

Follow safety first as Roy advised! Raise the vehicle and find out which wheel is locking up and go from there. You can also crack a line loose at the wheel to see if the issue is at the wheel or upstream.
