No promises but you can try LIGHTLY tapping on the front calipers with a wooden mallet or rubber hammer and sometimes it will free them up.
Keep in mind what you are trying to do is move them side to side to push back the caliper pistons.
Should it free up apply the brakes several times to make sure it doesn't lock up again.
If it works consider yourself lucky!!
If not give up. Don't do further damage beating on the calipers.
