No. The world was formed from matter in the accretion disc around the sun as it formed. So the Earth was spinning during formation and has never stopped. Tidal effects from the Moon have slowed the spin rate, and at some point it will slow until it matches its rate of rotation around the Sun (resulting in one side aways facing the sun, and one side always facing away). But even then it will still be spinning, just more slowly.

No, the Earth continuously rotates on its axis at a consistent speed. This rotation helps create the day and night cycle we experience.

What happens if the world stop spinning?

If the world stopped spinning we would have a very unlikely chance or survival. It depends on what your asking. If the world stops spinning but still revolves around the sun. Or if the world stopped moving all together. There are many answers. If the world stopped spinning but still revolved around the sun then we would have seasons like we do now, but we would either have light or day for 6 months each. It would take a lot of adapting to. So if the world stopped moving all together. Then we wouldn't have seasons. We would either have light or darkness for the rest of our lives, and we would either be in the unbareable cold or the blistering heat.

What Would Happen If The World Quit Spinning?

If the world stopped spinning it would do it gradually and each side of the world would either get the Sun for a whole year or darkness for a year. There would be no more northern lights and the protection of cosmic rays would vanish along with other high energy particles. When the world stops spinning completely then one side of the earth would be in a total eclipse and the other would be in constant sunshine each year, in and out. This is true but actually we would either be in light or darkness for only 6 months. Because IF the world stopped spinning but revolved around the sun then we would be in darkness or light for 6 months BECAUSE when the earth goes around the sun it will be transferring from one season to the other.
