possible a siezed caliper? is the caliper sliding freely back and forward on the carrier?

no idea at moment just wanted to limp home.ive got discs all round and theres no fluid loss anywhere .whats involved in checking if its siezed. and if it is how to fix...

Wheel off, caliper off (two bolts), you'll soon notice if the slide bolts have siezed up.
