A few things come to mind. First, If the vehicle is in 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive, the transfer case may be the culprit. Try slecting Neutral on the transfer case & see if things change. Second, the front wheel bearing may be siezed up. It's a fairly simple replacement of the sealed cartridge. Third, this is a long shot but I've seen cases where the front axle shaft U-joints have caused the wheel to bind up if they are rusted tight.
Also, If you drove it to the mechanic, is the wheel really locked up, or is it only when it's parked? If only when parked, my first point makes the most sense.

I'm not following- on your 3rd point - there is no rust. I thought about the wheel bearings and there is no noise, etc. The caliper is just not retracting after releasing the brake pedal. I'll try the shifter and the transfer case to see if that makes a difference but I don't see how that would affect the brakes on All wheel drive. I try anything - I'm puzzled. . Thanks
