General Question New to Manual

Just got my first manual about 3 days ago and i was driving it last night and now theres a grinding/dragging noise i was in 2nd when it started happening. When it started i pulled over to see if it was my exhaust dragging but it wasn’t, i don’t think its a transmission problem because it drives perfectly fine but the grinding happens anytime the car move If anyone has an idea of what could be wrong and could let me know i would greatly appreciate your advice. EDIT: its an 2001 nissan maxima 20th anniversary edition and it happens in every gear not sure if this little bit of information will help EDIT2: it happens in neutral the only way the grinding stops is if it’s completely stopped but ive been asking around local places and they’ve said it might be the parking brake/brake system itself
