Default Brake problem

For reference I have a DA with stock everything.

For some reason, the front driver side caliper doesn't want to decompress leaving me with a caliper stuck on and the wheel not being able to move. I also flushed all the other calipers except for that side because fluid did not want to flush through, so I just replaced it and its fine with that now. But still the caliper gets stuck. Anyone have any ideas on what it could be?

You replaced the caliper? Is it happening to you when you drive? Or when you are parked??? Your piston in your caliper maybe have junk in or around the edges causing it to seize?...(I don't know)

If you open the bleeder on that caliper, does it release?

Replace the brake line at that caliper.
The brake line may have an internal collapse. You will be able to send the fliud towards the caliper, when you are bleeding (because, at the brake pedal you have good leverage), but the caliper doesn't have much leverage to force the fluid past a collapse in the brake line (towards the master cylinder), so it does not release.
