Did you press the button or try to just drive off to release. Should work both ways. Have a 2020 with 16k miles always set it and release it with button no issues

Any chance the last time it was parked that it had wet rotors??? Open style wheels allow water to get to the rotors and pads allowing the pads to rust to the rotors and give you that stuck and cannot move situation. Enough engine throttle will break them loose.
