Default AC ATV 250 2008 Front Wheel Locked Suddenly

Thank-you for having this board when your help is needed.

New Arctic Cat ATV 250, 2008 purchased in May, coming up 4 months old.

Today front right wheel locked and will not unlock.

Press brake lever and it seems fine, however wheel stays locked.

What would cause this sudden lock and how to fix?
Parts?
Any exploded wheel part drawing online to look over to see what to look for?

Driven only on gravel roads around town - nothing rough - zero. To show it wasn't driven over rough terrain.

Thank you

Yes, I have yet to take the wheel off. The thin metal, is called the brake cover.
It is a little bent. When wheel is off what should be looked for?

Thank-you for your time and replies.

I just figured that would be a start. Start taking it apart and see what's up?? Im sure you can get to the bottom of it sooner or later. Just start taking it apart....
