Problem with Brakes

Hey guys how are you!

So I have a problem, Il start from the beginning I drive my car every morning just to warm it up and such cause Ive been travelling a bit far for work so I use my commuter.

Recently I went for a ride to the market, did a Uturn and my anti lock light comes on and my car feels like its dragging. Probably due to a seized caliper.

My question is what do you guys think it can be?, bad Master cylinder, over extended lines, water in brake fluid due to moisture etc?

Could be rusted rotors.

Water in the lines would make brakes spongy and weak.

And if anti-lock comes on that might also point to rusted rotors where they were freezing up and anti lock thought you were skidding.

Thank you for the reply. If I pump my brakes 3-4 times, the calipers releases and I can drive for like a miniute or 2 before it sticks again. Gonna just change out brakes and rotors and change out the lines.
