It sounds like you have a bad master cylinder or booster. I would loosen the brake master mounting bolts three turns to see if the brakes release. If so, I would install a new brake master. Here is a guide and instructions on how to change the master out in case you need it. This guide may help as well:

You will need to bleed the master before installation.
