It sounds as if the pedal return spring has failed. Regards Peter

When you say the brake light - are you referring to the one on the instrument panel. If yes then you have brake circuit failure that needs fixing. Suggest you get the brakes looked at urgently.

Might not be relevant to this issue, but for future reference the brake light will also stay on if the brake fluid reservoir is low.
