Do car made a sound as if the tire blew but all tires hood and the car won’t go forward but does go in reverse. Just have full brand new brakes in the front (caliper, rotor and pads). Don’t know what’s going on

If you can, remove the front wheels and inspect the calipers. It's possible that one of them has come loose and wedged in the wheel.
