According to one recent paper the Earth's core might have stopped moving relative to the surface, which is to say it's still rotating as fast as the surface is. From an outside perspective, essentially the core is going from rotating slightly faster than the surface to slightly slower. Per the paper, this happens pretty regularly and won't do much.
