If you're lucky, a corroded support bracket will be the cause. This will only mean cleaning the bracket with a wire brush and then coating it with a suitable lubricant. However, if the support bracket looks good and is free of corrosion, the caliper's piston could be seized. If this is the case, you'll have to replace not only the seized caliper but the other front brake caliper as well since both calipers must match or the vehicle may pull when braking

Recommendation:

A front brake caliper or piston is seized. Take this vehicle to a reputable repair shop and ask the mechanic to inspect the front brake unit which doesn't seem to be fully releasing
