I agree, sounds like a stuck caliper. At least the part up to everything completely grinding to a halt... I've had a few - notice a drag, wheel gets hot, smells bad, sometimes smoke etc... hopefully you didn't go metal on metal... I've never had one stop the car on the highway (normally goes the other way, pad wears a bit + then drives normal until next application of brakes)...
I agree on the fluid flush. If you haven't done so already, now's not a bad time to check for damage to the brake lines etc. A common problem area for corrosion etc is under the carpet in the floor of the driver's footwell. I also had one leak at a joint at the rear axle (though that was a 1993, iirc that might be different on a 1989)...
