The speedometer is controlled by a cable. The areas you want to check are the cable and its connection points. Check where the cable goes into the transmission, there is also a gear at the end of the cable, it could be broken. Check where the cable goes into the gauge cluster, maybe it disconnected check the cable itself, it's possible that the cable itself has snapped.
