rust from water in the brake fluid corrodes the piston and or the sleeve, and causes the brakes to sieze in place. sometimes they can be rebuilt, but it's much simpler to get a set of rebuilt calipers.
does your parking brake pedal push and release?
jack the car up, and remove the wheels, and see if you can pry each pad away from the rotor with a screwdriver.
if they move freely, disconnect the calipers from the two 19mm bolts, and push them off the rotor, then pull the rotor off and see if you have parking brake action.
