front breaks are sticking

so the front breaks was fine about 2 months ago and today i decided to drive it around today and i noticed i had to use alot of gas to get it move. so i pulled it back in the garage and jacked it up, i tried to turn my front wheel by hand and it was extremely hard to turn so i decided to bleed the breaks and it was still hard to turn. so i went around and bleed all four corners and it still hard. so what the hell is the deal???

any ideas????

So the front BRAKE pads are not releasing? Or are the rear drums stuck from sitting?

the pistons inside the front calipers are hanging up.
pull the front calipers off,then see if it rolls freely.

Question

What possible reason does one have for bleeding brakes to cure a seized caliper???

I am willing to learn if this is something new.
