Contamination in brake system. Did someone add brake fluid recently? Maybe some petroleum based fluid in master cylinder. Jack the wheels off ground and see if they turn freely slight drag is normal. If they won't turn freely open bleeder screw on caliper. If they turn then you have pressure in system possible brake hose or master cylinder bad. If both wheels are difficult to turn then I would think master cylinder. Compress front calipers they should colaspe without excessive force. If not then replace or rebuild them.
