Support the front wheel off the ground on a box or over a log etc and spin the wheel. When it spins try putting the brake on and off, if everything is working correctly, the wheel should stop instantly and move easily when the brake is released again.

If the wheel doesn't spin freely, it could mean that the brakes are binding (which could be lever adjustment or a sticking piston) or that the wheel bearings are seized (which is less likely) or that some part of the wheel/tyre/disc is rubbing somewhere.

Let us know how you get on.
