It sounds like there's a short in the phase wires somewhere. To test, you need to disconnect the motor from the controller and see if the drag goes away. If the motor spins freely when the controller is unplugged, then most likely the controller shorted. If the motor still has drag, then the problem is most likely in the motor. Carefully check the wires between the motor and controller and make sure there are no damaged or melted spots.

If the controller is shorted, it may be possible to repair it if you have electronic skills. Otherwise you'd need to replace it.
