jack the car up and pull off the front wheels.
do a full brake inspection, make sure it isn't your brakes making that noise. if a front wheel is hard to turn, it would either be a bad wheel bearing or a bad caliper/brake hose. an easy way to test this is to remove the caliper assembly and throw the wheel back on, still hard to turn?
do this simple test and get back to us.

4.2 to 4.5 oz of grease goes into where the axle goes into the outboard joint. (Part 6.)
5.3 to 5.5 oz of grease goes into the inboard CV joint. (Part 5.)
Losing either of the inboard or outboard boots means that grease is free to escape.
Either take it to a shop, or get yourself a shop manual and order part number 1 or 6 to do the work yourself.
and after driving it for less than five minutes of this grinding the front wheel on the drivers side was smoking hot
also when the car was jacked up the front wheels were hard to turn, ideas ?

Here's what a brake piston looks like after dirt gets in there.
