Yeah... the speedometer cable may have come loose at the speedo hub on the front axle, or the back of the speedometer itself. Check both ends of the cable to be sure it's attached.

If it is attached properly on both ends and still not working, remove the hub side, and attach a power drill to the cable and spin it up, try both directions as I forget which is correct. If your speedometer displays speed, the meter itself and the cable are fine, it is more than likely a bad hub. If you are unable to get the meter to display speed, your cable may be faulty or the meter. Remove the cable entirely and again spin one end and inspect the other to see if it is spinning. If it is, your meter is bad.

It could also be a stripped speedo gear in the front wheel hub. The gear/cable driven speedo isn't a complicated system, so finding the fault should be pretty easy.
