I'd jack it up and spin the wheels. Most likely the brake pads are destroying a rotor or a wheel bearing failed. I have seen a rock jammed between a rotor and a splash shield a few times.

Could Be A Bad Wheel Bearing,i Would Not Drive It Until It Was Fixed. You May Also Need A New Spindle.your Bearings Should Be Greased Once A Year.
