What will happen to the rock cycle if the tectonic plates stop moving?

Let's take this step by step: If the tectonic plates have stopped moving, that essentially means that the convection currents in the mantle which drive continental drift have stopped. If the convection currents have stopped, there must be a reason for the halt; this would most likely be that the heat driving convection has stopped. If there is no heat in the earth, hotspots cannot exist --> volcanoes cannot exist --> no lava --> no igneous rocks. There's one result. Though metamorphic rocks do require pressure AND heat, all of that takes place in the crust (lithosphere) anyway, so they would not be affected. However, there would be less of a chance for those metamorphic rocks to emerge either as lava or through plate collisions, since we're assuming neither could happen (though there's probably a way). So the rock cycle would basically become a rock path, with sedimentary rocks turning into metamorphic rocks. The sedimentary rocks, of course, can break down through weathering and reform through compaction, so you could have a miniature, self-feeding loop going there. But that's about all I've got for you.
