Do you mean pulling all the time, or just when you apply the brakes?  If the
latter, it's possible the pads or rotor on the other side got contaminated
during the process, and no longer stop as well.  Could also be a hydraulic
blockage on that side, preventing it from working.

If it's pulling all the time, I would start by jacking up the front of the
car and investigating which brake is dragging.  If you crack the bleed valve
and the brake frees up, then it's a hydraulic problem to that caliper.
Otherwise it's the caliper itself either hanging up or (as someone already
mentioned) dragging against the rotor.
