Nah, leaving them locked won't have caused it. Like I say, I think they just need a bit of tlc.

Just don't over grease them. They just need a little bit to stop binding. It's probably old grease gone hard in the cold stopping them sliding inside.

if the hubs are at fault and they may be, a strip and clean/relube should sort it. i bought a set that needed rebuilding and its a quickish job . check as mentioned in other posts. once you have cured the faulty hub , i'd also redo the working one.

to be honest i can't remember whether the wheel has to come off or not. but i do remember you can strip and rebuild them on the dining room table ;)
i bought the grease and sealant from the bigjimny shop. martin will tell you what you need.
