On my Cadillac ('98), if the vacuum release does not work there is a lever directly above the peddle that will manually release the parking brake. Follow the lever up and it should be in front near the pivot pin.
It is not unusual for the parking brake cable assembly to seize due to corrosion. Also, the rear brakes are self-adjusting when backing up and can eventually wind up by themselves until they lock up. Start by removing the rear wheels and checking the brake shoe assemblies. Due to the age of the vehicle, this can be quite a chore, as the brake adjuster may have to be manually backed off before the brake drums will come off. Also, if the brake cable is seized, you may have to remove/manually loosen it as well. It is a part that needs lubricating periodically so it works freely, and may need to be replaced.
It should move freely with the transmission in neutral and parking brake released. The parking brake may be stuck engaged - it should release if you put the transmission in drive first (manually check that the parking brake pedal has released).
have calipers checked to see if they are stuck,put it in neautral relase brakes,and emegency-parking brake then see if it rolls when pushed,if not brakes are freezing up,check emergency-parking brake for sticking and calipers
there is a manual release on the park brake assembly I think yellow tip lever. The unit releaases automatic by vaccum, if there is vaccum to the release vaccum solenoid but it doesn't release you need a new solenoid
