If you change the wheel and get one that'll take an 11-speed cassette then you also need an 11-speed chain. Then you might have problems with that 11-speed chain getting caught between the chainrings on your crankset because the 11 speed chain is narrower. You'd also need new 11-speed shifters and possibly derailleurs too. Thus you're looking t a very expensive upgrade. You might be better of just saving and then buying an 11-speed bike.

I'd take the bike to a bicycle co-op if there's one near you and have someone with knowledge about your type of bike have a look at it.

Disc brakes on a wheel with a freewheel? Could be that the wheel or the brake or both are really low-end and prone to problems. Again a co-op should be able to help you. If there isn't one near you then a good shop might troubleshoot your brake/wheel issue for you. I'd take the bike in when they're not busy.
