That a drum brake one? If so, it probably wants stripping down, cleaning and the pivots greasing assuming you haven't adjusted it yourself and overtightened the cable (in which case, back it off a bit). Worst case, the shoes are badly worn which can cause them to stick on.

You should be able to loosen them by pushing the lever on the brake drum.

I could do the job in half an hour. Wheel out, brake apart, good scoosh with brake cleaner, knock the cam out (if it is seized) and clean it with emery paper, grease the pivots then bung it all back on.

Where are you, I'm sure someone will be able to give you a hand if you are stuck and they are close enough.

If it is a disc brake, post back.

sounds like you have a seized piston, take the calipers off and give them a good clean and inspection, hopefully that will sort it if not you may have to dig deeper and replace the seals
