Disconnect the battery give it a chance to reset , & try again after all back together.
Can you hear a electric motor engage & turn? (RH panel where thigh rest) & you were able to post, so your able to locate closest dealer to call & or tow if need be.

Do a search for "parking brake won't release" and you will get a lot of possible causes and remedies.

Parking brake issues
Get you a 12 mm open end wench, and loosen the park brake cable on the right side of the rear wheel! Loosen the two lock nuts until you can slide the cable out of the frame brace, and let it hang with the slack in it! You can then ride your spyder! Please know your regular driving brakes will work, but your parking brake will not, so you need a rock or something to block the wheels when you park! Get your parking brake switch replaced and hopefully your problem will be solved. That is what I had to do to my 2016 RT Limited! I still haul my 12 mm wrench with me, in case it happening again!

I got to thinking my response to do a search for your parking brake problem may have sounded rude. It wasn't meant that way, but rather a way to get more info quicker than waiting for multiple replies.
Sorry if it seemed rude, Bob.

Parking brake stuck on ..
... happened to me also.... twice.
After the second time I took it to the dealership and below is what I wrote on a thread here a while back :-
--- 2 weeks later.
Trouble ticket says -- 1) replaced gear motor, 2) replaced parking brake module.
P0571, P1571, HBS switch fault and HBS switch deactivation fault respectively.
Good continuity between pin 1 & 3, closed and open. Good continuity between grn/wh wire and cluster.
Hope this may be of help to any on the forum.
Dealer tech wasn't able to duplicate the fault but a case # was created anyway.
