Calipers are seized up and needs replaced along with pads, rotors and maybe the hoses.
Also if u have drums in rear did someone do brakes and not back off on the adjuster a lil. If no it drums will overheat and seize. So determine is it front or back? I replace calipers usually every other brake job just to avoid what Hornet is talking about and also clean mating surfaces as need may b,
If you do decide to replace calipers and rotors, you should know that you can buy a caliper/rotor/pads as a bundle cheaper than as separate parts.
