Question somebody please help?? disc brakes.

I recently swapped out my front pads and rotors and now both the front calipers won't release and it's burning up the pads/rotors. everything is on correctly, the wheels when even in the air they won't spin freely. The pads are like stuck on the rotors. any ideas greatly apprciated.

swollen or restricted brake hoses, bad calipers, frozen caliper pins.

If you open the bleeder on the caliper do the wheels free up?
