Icon6 Locked up brakes with new master cyclinder

So I have a 96 ex with d16y8. My master cylinder was leaking fluid, it would drain the whole cylinder in a day. On Monday, I went to autozone and bought a new one. The new one looked different from the old one but the person assured me it would work. Before I put the new one on, I bench bleed the master cylinder. After putting on the new mast cylinder on, I bleed the brakes doing the passenger rear first, then driver rear, then driver front and then finally passenger front. I bleed each until I there was no more bubbles and I saw new fluid. I drove it around all day yesterday but when I went to go to work tonight, after getting about 3 miles away from the house the car wouldnt move. I put the car in neutral and I could not push it. So, my h-t peeps, what do you think my issue is? Is it the new cylinder or not properly bleed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the MC is bad. Something is wrong where it's not releasing the pressure. Take it off, get money back from Autozone. Go to Honda, but from them and have no issues.
