Hi yankee, if the control surface wont move then neither will the control wheel - at any speed.
What type of aircraft? On the L-1011 if an aileron is jammed, bungees installed in the input system will extend or collapse to allow movement of the control wheel and any un-jammed aileron. Even if all four ailerons were jammed the wheel will still move, but it wouldn't do you a lot of good.
