What would happen if the Earth stopped spinning for one minute?

If the oceans keep going, Earth’s surface is scoured clean by tsunamis moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Nearly everyone dies.

If the whole Earth stops by magic, with the angular momentum just vanishing and then reappearing, then the result is very minor.
