Its either a siezed caliper or cable. Disconect the cable from the caliper get someone to pull the handbrake off and on and see if the cable moves back and forth ( if it dosnt its siezed) . if it does then your caliper is siezed to confirm this pull the lever on the caliper and see if it returns back after pulling it forward. Sometimes youl need to pry the lever back
