Default Does not drive after changing tire

Recently I got flat tire at my drive, so I changed the tire myself and put spare tire. After changing the tire, when I put the car for parking to drive, it does not drive. I feel some kind of brake is on but can't figure it out what it is. Please suggest me what to do.
Thanks
Jack

depending on your car you might have differnt lugs bolts for the spare tire and if you used the wrong ones your lug bolts are probably grinding against your E brake assembly and are binding up your rear wheels

I agree with chassis221. There are general shorter bolts for the spare wheel

did you read the above posts? basically what may have occurred is that you used lug bolts
which are too long for the new wheel. the longer bolt reaches too far into the hub and
is jammed against the parking brake mechanism.

IF YOU ATTEMPT to drive off, you risk serious damage to your brakes. STOP.

examine the lug bolt. insert into the new wheel and measure how much it extends out the
back of the wheel. it should be very close to the same measure as when used on the old
wheels. if you measure more, the above mentioned situation is what likely has occurred.
