1998 Fiat Punto

When I press the break pedal my front wheel cylinder does not release the disk so that the wheel is stuck and does not turn

You sure its a wheel cylinder or a caliper -the piston could be binding and not retracting and also a collasped brake hose acting like a one way check valve.
