Well if it stopped sudden I'd bet the earthquakes would be of huge magnitude, then you would have to deal with the oceans continuing in the motion that they were going, so tsunamis bigger than this civilization has never seen, even the winds by the equator would be a devastating speed, I think this would be a game changer

I guess where the force that stops it gets applied. Imagine the core halting so the crust momentum causes it to slide of the mantle. Massive quakes.

Dark side would definitely get cold once everything settled, below freezing for sure, and sunny side roasted worse than any desert.

Only dusk / dawn zones would be habitable
