I noticed that the front wheels were acting like they were locked up and theres a burning smell. How can I take care of this myself?

Are both sides doing so? First thign I would do is grease up the calipers and check the brake lines for deteroration and try driving it again. If they still do this then I have a feeling your master cylinder/porportioning valve is failing since both front wheels are doing it at the same time.
