Thanks for using Just Answer

The odometer in your car is operated by the PCM. The first thing you should do is have your codes checked. That might give you a clue as to what is going on.
This could be a problem with the speed sensor, but since the speedometer works it is probably not that. My guess is the circuit board that runs the speedomter/odometer might be bad.
This would be a very difficult diagnosis so if you want to figure it out without just replacing parts you might want to take your car to a goo repair shop.
If you just want to replace the most likely part then I would replace the instrument panel cluster.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you need anything else.
