Remove the wheel and look at the brake system especially the pads for rubbing. The pads may be worn down to the metal and grinding on the rotors. Also check the brake backing plate, wheel bearings and suspension parts.

Sparks is not normal; you should be able to determine the problem with a little investigation.
