brakes

Hi all, Today i smelled a weird smell and it seems that the left front wheel is stuck -- cannot rotate -- and the brake is v v hot. Does this mean that the front caliper is seized? Could it be anything else (like the distribution valve)? It just happened suddenly after getting new tires at...

Im looking for a new or used front passenger caliper, shipped to 92688 THANKS!

I changed brake pads on all four corners this weekend. Went for a drive after and it seemed little weak, but I figured it was just the pads burning off a protective coating (which was just a theory, I don't really think pads ship with any coating on them...) and maybe just seating themselves...
