Whoever did the job didn't tighten the clamps properly allowing one side to turn. Have seen it a few times on front cv boots on Jeeps, as they are difficult to secure unless a factory boot is used, and installed when the axle is out.

To me it sounds like something went wrong inside the axle, if you car doesn't move
