there is a major fault with the drive shaft/joints or hub on that side. As the transmission only locks the crown wheel, if one drive shaft is able to turn (without moving the wheel) then the other can too (through the differential gears).

Yes, likely a C/V joint (or a broken axle) on that side...
Thank you guys so much, you were right on, it was a snapped cv and i didn't have to go to the mechanic without a clue about the situation. It cost $355 with towing (the guy recommended to replace the full axle)
