At the Equator, the earth's rotational motion is at its fastest, about a thousand miles an hour. If that motion suddenly stopped, the momentum would send things flying eastward. Moving rocks and oceans would trigger earthquakes and tsunamis. The still-moving atmosphere would scour landscapes

That happens when it stopped at this time, but i asked what if it never did spin at the start of time it existed

I would say it already my question is dumm, but just based on my understanding a day in earth would take a year if it didn't spin, a year of darkness and cold in the other side and burning light on the other side
