Passenger rear wheel is locked...

Passenger rear wheel is locked...
To the point where I had to use 4low to move it out from the middle of my driveway....
The night before I hooked up the trailer to make a run to the rez , so itd be ready in the am, no problems... get in it in the morning and the truck doesnt want to move...
after figuring out it isnt the trailer, and because the truck and trailer were in the middle of my driveway, I backed up the trailer with the truck to the shop... it backs up fine.... but trying to go forward?
I ended up having to literally drag the passenger rear tire, about 30' in 4low, to get the truck out of the middle of the driveway...
But I want to get it into the shop in the next couple weeks, but am not sure as to what is the problem?
I am thinking the parking brake...
Is there a way to disengage the P Brake with out ripping everything apart so I can get the drum off? Or am I stuck pounding on the drum with a sledge hammer?

Was it raining or wet there yesterday? Did you set the parking brake last night? Did it get below freezing? If so, it might just be froze. Heat it up with a propane torch and see if it loosens up. Be careful with the heat! If something has come apart and the e brake is stuck on, it’s going to be a fight to get the drum off. You’ll probably need to cut the shoe retaining pins and force the shoe ends out of the wheel cylinder.

Its been sitting there for about 2 months now... havent even started it.... at the time, there wasnt much snow or ice on the driveway, so I let it sit for about a week til the next snow fall - thinking itd be easier to move with snow and such on the driveway.
and thats where its sat... for the last two months lol but i do need to get working on it
