The Moon slowly rotates (taking about 28 days) while it orbits round the Earth. This means that we see the same side of the Moon from Earth. Therefore, if the rotation ceased, I believe we would see all sides of the Moon in turn as it continues to orbit the Earth. Also, the lunar phases would still depend on the position of the Earth and Moon in relation to the Sun, so I wouldn't expect the phases to change. I remember the excitement some years ago, when a rocket was sent round the far side of the Moon that we can't view from Earth, taking many photographs.
