More than likely, you either tightened the rear brakes too much or you over tightened the front axle nuts.

I wouldn't drive it much or severe heat damage can occur..... but, a very short drive should tell you whether the problem is in the front or rear. Just feel the hub and see what's hot.

If you think it's the front, remove the front wheel and brake caliper, wrap a string around the wheel studs. Attach a fishing scale to the string and pull so the hub rotates. There should be no more than 4 lbs showing on the scale. If you have an educated and calibrated pinky finger, you should be able to check it that way as well - just tug on one of the studs to turn the hub - it should be fairly easy to move, yet have some resistance.
