Is an irregular verb a non action word?
No, it does not have to be. All it means when you have an "irregular" verb is that this verb forms its tenses in an unusual way. For example, in regular verbs, the past tense is formed by adding an -ed. Today, I walk. Yesterday, I walked. Another example of a regular verb: to wait. Today, I wait. Yesterday (or last week, last year, whatever) I waited.
But the verb "sing" is irregular. Today, I sing. But... yesterday, I sang. Or, another example: the verb "throw" is irregular. Today, I throw the ball. Yesterday, I threw the ball. Thus, while there are some non-action verbs ("to be," for example) that are irregular, there are also plenty of action verbs that are also irregular, usually because of how their past tense or past participle is formed.
