With out actually being there to check it out for my self I would think the brake pad has been worn down so low the pad has gotten jammed between the caliper and rotor that is just a guess without looking at it.

If this is a 2019 Jetta and you are hearing a metallic grinding noise at low RPM then it is due to a defective torque converter.
