It has to do with balance. The arms can be held still and you can still run. The human brain will compensate the moving of the arms to keep balance.

Moving your arms while running helps to maintain balance, counterbalance the motion of your legs, and propel your body forward. The swinging motion of your arms also helps to increase your speed and efficiency by assisting with momentum and coordination.
