If you didn't do what SouthArk suggested, do that. Otherwise, find out what wheel speed sensor went bad and replace it. I suspect what you will find is something knocked the wheel sensor out of alignment.

Not to be a difficult person, but did you even look at the sensors? Hory chit batman, if all that stuff wasn't working on my car, I'd have it up in the air, checking for issues, not continuing to drive it with a non-functioning ABS and speedo.... can you say 'LAWSUIT' if you had been in an accident? Great googly moogly dude, fix your chit... don't post on the inter webs that you are continuing to drive with stuff not working right...
