So I have a GT86 TRD '19 (so brembo brakes) and I haven’t been driving for around a week. Yesterday when I started the car, I tried to go forward and I felt a lot of resistance (I had this situation once, when it felt like brakes just stuck to discs, but then I just added a little more gas, and the car went forward, there was a hearable subtle crack and the problem was nowhere to be seen). So I tried to do the same, added a little bit gas, and I heard thie same sound, but the car still wouldn’t move without resistance. Turns out, my front right wheel still won’t rotate, so it would just slide on surface (I have a little bit of dirt on my driveway).

I tried applying brakes a couple of times, I tried going back and forth and nothing.

I read online that it might be due to corrosion and after checking my brake discs, they’re pretty rusty (car wasn’t moved for a week).

Is this normal? My friends never had this with other cars like BMW and Mercedes.
How do I proceed now to free my car?
How do I prevent this situation in future?
