Something I would try:
George, look down the center of the chuck jaws with a bright light. It's going to be difficult to see, but there is an Allen head screw down in there.
Taking the screw out, will afford you the opportunity to remove the chuck from the drill. The drill should have a slightly tapered shaft, and the chuck has a tapered hole to match. It might be stuck on tight. Tap on the back side of the chuck, with a wooden block, and hammer.
(Yes, this may require a helper)
Tap on one side, then the other to try to remove the chuck evenly.
With the chuck off it may release pressure on the jaws. It may not.
In this case the chuck will have to be opened up, (Which will release pressure on the jaws), and the jaws reset.
