This is enough to cause your pads to melt, which creates excessive "pad deposits" on your rotors. The absolute sure fire fix is to change your pads and resurface your rotors, doing some hard braking or a brake pad bedding procedure may or may not help.

It's highly unlikely you actually warped the rotor.
Parking brake has nothing to do with it. Parking brake is a separate drum brake. But it most likely is pad deposits on the front rotors.
