Could do with a little more detail here, as in, are they acting like they're frozen up, or are you not getting any power to them? Do you need to have your transfer case engaged in order for the vehicle to move? If so, there's something broken in your rear driveline somewhere which is giving the torque a path of resistance to escape through.... it'll follow the path of least resistance, the same way water will, which is why the other wheel stops moving when you're in a situation where you've got one wheel spinning out. A broken axle shaft, separated differentials, a broken yoke, sheared lugs on the spindle... something to that effect. Could also be the output gear to the rear driveshaft in the transfer case. This is going to take a much more in-depth diagnosis in order to narrow down the cause.
