Default terrible grinding noise in ek hatch

so i went to the airport this morning it was pouring rain, was gone for about 12 hours came back .. no rain anymore. backed out of my spot. started to pull forward and there was a horrible metal to metal noise coming from the front right wheel. couldn't tell exactly from what. kept puling forward a couple inches and it was terrible..but i had to go so i said F it and drove forward in 1st and once i turned the wheel to get out of the section i was in it stopped, then next time i had to go out of first it made on small squeek and didn't do it again..it's too dark to really check anything just wondering if anyone has ever had this problem as well.
