It sounds like you have a brake booster that has gone bad or one of the brake pads has fallen apart causing the locking. Can you tell me if you have checked the brake and are okay? If so and all okay here are diagrams and instructions to change the booster out. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Can you do me favor and jack the front and see if the wheels spin freely? Then do the same with the rear and report back. Here is a guide to help you safely raise the car:

Please run down this guide and report back.
