Default 2005 chev cavalier with gauge problems

Hi, I am not a mechanic and I need some advise as to what my problem would be..... I am having major problems with my speedometer not working at all and my rpm gauge not working at all as of today on that one, the speedometer for some time now! Rpm gauge is staying in the red range but the car is not running hot and when I turn my car off to park it, the gauge is not going down at all and neither does the speedometer. Just wondering what this could be. I need my car for my job as a caregiver and this has me worried quite a bit with my inspection coming up soon for my car. I searched on here but really could not find anything that matches my problem. Thanks in advance for any advice/help with this that you can provide.

the cluster needs new stepper motors. 3 options;
*dealer for new cluster
*send your cluster to a cluster repair service
*fix your cluster yourself


the stepper motors are available off ebay . Most come with instructions. Youtube has videos on how to do this.
