First check to make sure that the cable in the back of the speedometer coming from the front wheel didn't become unscrewed.  If that is not your problem, unscrew the cable from the speedometer, put the bike on the center stand and spin the front wheel.  If the cable doesn't spin it is probably a broken speedo cable. If the cable does spin your problem is in the speedometer.
