Why does your speedometer works sometimes and sometimes does not?

it depends on the year and make of the car, if it is old enough to have a mechanically driven speedometer (ie. a cable and a stator) you may have a rounded edge to the square end of the cable, on either end, or the stator itself may have been damaged, if the vehicle is new enough to have an electronic speedometer, it is probably a bad fuse,(unlikely) or more likely, a short in the ground wire for the speedo.

Speedometer is ran by electronic sensor on rear end. Odometer is ran from speedometer. If both don't work problem is sensor. If speedometer works sensor is okay. If speedometer works and odometer does not problem is in mechanical parts (gears) of of odometer and has to be replaced.
