Test the caliper, put it in park and pump the brakes. Let off the brakes. Crack open the bleeder screw on the wheel that is locked up. If fluid trickles out, caliper may be bad. If fluid shoots out under pressure the brake line or hose may be bad. Since you replaced caliper it is not likely to be bad, so check the bleeder valve anyhow to see if there is an obstruction in the brake line that is preventing fluid return to the MC.
