Alright I have a 97 civic ex. I was driving along and all of a sudden my speedometer blew out or something and it just stopped working

Now there is a check light on, I dont know if its the check engine light or if its just a check water pump light, is there a seperate light that specifically says check engine I cant tell? And what do I do about the speedometer problem I'm guessing its the VSS sensor but I dont kno where to find it, is it with the fuses inside the car or is it under the hood?
