When you say "froze", was it literally frozen because of the temperature, or were you figuratively speaking and it was just stuck in place?

Literally frozen because of temperature.

Hey everyone thanks for the recommendations. It turned out my front right brake was frozen in place. It was warm on Thursday and rainy and yesterday it was cold enough to freeze, creating the issue. after rocking the car back and forth a few times it came loose with a loud "pop" and now it moves! |

Glad you got it figured out. I stopped using my parking brake during freezing temps unless I absolutely need it (steep hills, etc.).

My Z is winterized now and wont see light again until spring. like you said, i decided to leave it in gear instead of the parking break in case i need to move it again and have to deal with frozen brakes.
