Toyota Celica Brake pedal Problem

I have a bad smell coming from the brakes n my brake pedal gets hard to push after awhile of driving n around my front tires it smokes. What could this be?

It sounds like you have a stuck caliper. Safely lift the vehicle and check to see if you are able to spin the wheels?
