Resistance felt in front wheels?

I was driving down the road and came to a stop sign. After taking a left turn and trying to accelerate, I felt some resistance in the front wheels, almost like something was holding the car back. I pulled over, tried moving again, and it still felt the same. I figured it might be a bad wheel bearing, so I replaced the rear driver-side hub assembly since that one was already bad. But even after replacing it, I’m still feeling resistance up front.

I took it to AutoZone, it showed a code for the CVT. It’s been throwing that same code for a while, though, and it doesn’t feel like a transmission issue. It feels more like the brakes are dragging — almost like I’m pressing the brake and gas at the same time at low speeds. Once I get up to around 40 or 45, it smooths out completely and doesn't feel like it’s dragging until I have to stop and go again.
There's no noise, just feels like resistance.
