Default Rear dif leaked out. Fixed leak but now brakes stuck?

I was doing 70mph on highway. Check engine light, ABS light and brake light came on. I immediately pulled over. Rear dif was leaking and slightly smoking. I fixed the leak and refilled with hear oil. But the lights are still on and I can put it in gear but it won't creep forward. Any suggestions?

how low was the fluid? just a guess but if the differential was smoking, it is smoked,
as in the bearings are seized.

I think you need to start searching salvage yards for a suitable replacement rear end. It sounds like yours is cooked.
