Brake issues Kia Spectra

Two days ago i drove my Kia Spectra about 60 miles on the highway, then after being off the highway for 10 mins, my car started acting weird. The car just wanted to stop when i took my foot off the gas, at stoplights it didnt roll forward if i took my foot off the brake. The brake petal felt heavy like it was already being pushed.
Then two hours later I tried to drive it again around the block and it was fine, but the next day on my way back from the store the car wouldnt get up to speed, i was flooring it and the car was going 30. Then after about a minute it started speedng up again, but once again the brake felt extremely heavy. I parked my car and there was a TON of smoke coming from around the front two tires.
Any ideas about what is going on???

I think your calipers are hanging up. You probably need two rebuilt loaded calipers with pads and two new rotors.
I would pull the anti lock fuse if you have this option. If this stops the hang up you need to also check this system.
