Hey everyone thanks for the recommendations. It turned out my front right brake was frozen in place. It was warm on Thursday and rainy and yesterday it was cold enough to freeze, creating the issue. after rocking the car back and forth a few times it came loose with a loud "pop" and now it moves!

That "pop" scared the crap out of me when mine did it. Especially since I had just replaced the parking brake pads a few months ago.
Glad you got it figured out.
I stopped using my parking brake during freezing temps unless I absolutely need it (steep hills, etc.).

The pop scared me also, i figured i either fixed it or i just cost myself alot of money My Z is winterized now and wont see light again until spring. like you said, i decided to leave it in gear instead of the parking break in case i need to move it again and have to deal with frozen brakes.
