Your throttle is sticking open. I had an incident many years ago. I took foot off throttle which let the engine slow down, put foot on brake, the engine didn't speed up but the car did, very strange and was told impossible.

Could be several things, weak fuel pump (failing), or a fuel filter clogging, or fuel pressure regulator. The best thing to do is to get to a reputable shop, and have diagnostics ran through the O.B.D. system.
