GE washers usually use a clutch to come up to the proper spin speed. If the clutch wears out, it prevents the unit from spinning well or at all. If so, you need to replace it. You may need the service of a qualified appliance repair technician to do the job.

Sounds to me like the belt has either came off or has broken. You can remove the front lower panel to see if the belt is still intact.To remove, put a hand on each side of the panel toward the top. Pull toward you, the top of the panel will un-clip and pull out. Then just pick up on the panel and set aside. Now look for the belt. Pull on it and make sure it's tight. If not you will need to reinstall it of if broken, replace. Good luck.
