When a substance changes phase (or state), there is no change in temperature. So, the average kinetic energy of the molecules remains the same. And thus, the average speed of the molecules remains the same. The heat causing the melting is used to change the molecules' potential energies.

Phase changes happen when certain points are reached. Sometimes a liquid wants to become a solid. Scientists use something called a freezing point to measure when that liquid turns into a solid. There are physical effects that can change the freezing point.

Description of Activity; Phase Changes; This activity demonstrates that water can exist in different phases, and encourages students to manipulate the rate and temperature of its phase changes. ... Water boils at 100º C and freezes at 0º C. These phase change temperatures can be altered by adding substances to the water.

Some months ago I made a (seemingly idle) threat to follow up my basic concepts posts on polar and non-polar molecules and intermolecular forces with a post on phase changes. Finally it's here!
