Not just the surface layer; the whole works can't just stop. Conservation of momentum is different from conservation of energy. Forces are required to alter momentum.
But this is so juvenile. Anyone passing a high-school physics class should realize that a magnetic pole shift will have no expected change in Earth rotation. (Magnetic poles are not rotational poles.)

I know. But I think most of these adherents either never took science courses or never passed them. The laws of physics have never been repealed.
I think you are correct on both counts.
