It seem like you have a faulty speed sensor, damaged wiring , or an instrument malfunction.
The Vehicle Speed Sensor is mounted on transmission

For testing the speed sensor
# Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

# Disengage the wiring harness connector from the VSS.

# Using a Digital Volt-Ohmmeter (DVOM), measure the resistance (DVOM ohmmeter function) between the sensor terminals. If the resistance is 190-250 ohms, the sensor is okay.
Have your vehicle diagnosed to get out the code behind the engine light and get back if the speed sensor is not the problem.
