'Whence' refers to where one has been, e.g. "from whence did they come?", whither refers to where one is going, e.g. "whither do you go?". There are somewhat archaic; today we would use the static form where: "where did they come from?" "where are you going?"

When there is no movement or action indicated what is it called whither or whence?
Generally, whence means from or out of which place, and whither means to what place. Whence can be used with the sense of 'by reason of which fact', meaning about the same as 'therefore', or 'ergo'. In this case there is no movement or action indicated. For example, from the Webster's Collegiate, "Whence I infer that my bones are not yet chalky." O. W. Holmes, 1935. These words are rarely used in standard US English, and I am surprised that they are not listed as obsolete or archaic. This may be a regional observation and the words may be in common use in other places.
What does Shakespeare mean by the word whither?
"Whither" is a different word from "wither" which means to fade or go away. "Whither" means "to where". "O mistress mine, whither do you wander?" means the same as "O mistress mine, where do you wander to?" Since it is about destination, it is a little different from "where": the answer to "where do you walk?" could be "on the street", but the answer to "whither do you walk?" must be something like "to my house"
