Hi there,
Sounds as if the brakes are dragging, jack up the wheel and try to rotate the tyre, if very tight remove wheel and inspect disc , it my be turning blue from the heat. you may have blocked brake hose (retaining pressure) or a seized caliper. Check the wheel bearing is not failing as well as that can also cause your problem.
