I assume you mean they don't release, not that the brake pedal moves on its own. If you can get them to drag or lock up, stop on a slight incline, shift to neutral, place a block about 6" downhill from a tire, then loosen the steel lines at the master cylinder to see if they release. If not, open the caliper bleeder screws. You're looking for where the brake fluid is being trapped.
