I cant tell that this is a big problem, I was driving along one day and I needed to brake really fast. When I was breaking, the front right wheel completely locked. Now it locks anytime that I break. What do I do?

Remove the dust cap and hold the inner axle nut with a wrench while you turn the outer one, then the inner one. Pull off the brake drum and see how everything looks. A leaking wheel cylinder can cause drum brakes to lock.
