If your diff's gearing was messed up enough to keep the opposite wheel from turning, you couldn't drive at all.
Make sure the car is in gear and try rotating the wheel again. It sort of sounds like a driveshaft problem, the U-joints, or maybe a balancing weight fell off. It could also be the telescoping joint in the driveshaft. What style to you have? I have seen the strap style, the "soup can" CV joint style, and a splined shaft style.
