Get it inside and warm it up. 99% of the time some water is just frozen and locking things up.

I have had two quads do the same thing. On the straight rear axle quads with drum brakes, the seals don't do too well. The drums get water in them and freeze when it gets cold. Like mentioned above, put some heat on it and it will loosen up. Take the wheel off, pop the drum apart, drain the water and clean it out good. Put it back together and you will be good to go.
