   I removed the gearbox today and think I knocked it into gear whilst removing it does this matter when putting the box back on?

   no, just take it back out of gear using the selector rods on the back of the box. the rod should be central when its in neutral.

   They are all connected along with all earths, there is only one driveshaft in the box at minute as I'm waiting for a new 1 would this cause the speedo to move by any chance?

   Only possibly if you jacked up the car put it in gear started it,then manually rotated the wheel.

    With only one driveshaft in it will cause it to act like it is moving if it is in gear. It's not the sensor.
