Park on a slight incline, put the transmission in neutral, and see if the car creeps ahead on its own. If it doesn't, suspect a locked up brake. If it shakes that badly, you will probably find it's also very hot. A caliper can cause this but lately constricted rubber hoses are becoming real common. If you open the caliper's bleeder screw, a little spurt of fluid pops out, and the wheel frees up, suspect rust buildup inside the crimp where the metal bracket holds the middle of the hose. You can open that crimp slightly with a channel lock pliers. If that doesn't help, you could have a sticking caliper. Rebuilt units are pretty inexpensive compared to years ago.
