Rear ABS problem

Hey guys. My rear abs light keeps going on and off and a little bit ago when I was trying to move a trailer around in my driveway and it felt like someone had their foot on the brake pedal. The parking brake was off and mt foot was not on the brake. Does anyone have any ideas whats wrong? The brakes are obviously sticking, so how can i fix it?

Sticky brake cables are the most common cause for brakes dragging. Is the cable along the drivers frame sagging? Give it a pull and watch the rear cables to see if they are releasing.

None of the cables are sagging. Do you think it could be the wheel cylinder? My driver side is seized up. The light goes on and off randomly. I cant drive it around because the oil pump is shot. So I cant trouble shoot anything that involves driving
