It is most likely the speed o meter cable has worn out.
This cable is located on the inside of the front left tire. On the inside of the wheel you should be able to see it, and unscrew it. Then follow it up to the back of your speed o meter. The cable will go through the firewall, and should have some sort of rubber protecting the cable from wearing through on the metal of the vehicle. These cables can be strung through many different ways. But all speedometer cable are attached to the inside of the left front wheel and end up inside the dash, attached to the back of your speedometer component.

Odomete and speedometer get thhe data from the same speed sender, that means that the odometer is faulty or stuck.
