youll need to check the adjustment.its possable a piece of brake hardware part is broken then you will need to remove the drums and inspect everything.

I realize that you arte certainly not going to be able to get the drums off until you get the brakes to release. I think you have a parking brake cable stuck. Release the brake and see if the cable is retracting on both sides. You may be able to twist the cable around or tap on it to get it to release and then don't use it again until you can replace the cable.
