Your odometer should be working as it is connected directly to the speedo cable by gears. The speed needle can stick - typically the only thing dragging it forward is a magnet at the end of the cable that 'pulls' a metal cup attached to the needle inside the case. Sometimes they stick due to old grease that builds up a small speed bump. Should be easy to clean/relube if you can get the case open.
