Brake Fluid Service Due now Brakes Grinding?

So my brake fluid service light is on; I call to make an appointment a week and a half out... Now my brakes are grinding really bad at low speed. It appears I have plenty of pad life left, and the fluid reservoir is full. What could this be? Should I be worried?

Could be that the calipers on the guide pins are not sliding properly.
