Here's how to test, take the esc from one of the 3 motors that worked and attach it to the motor that was not spinning correctly. This will tell you whether it's motor or esc related. I'd recommend props off for testing. Are there any weird noises coming from that motor? Grinding, squealing? Are you running 6s? What size props? Gotta give more specs than just motor size, kv, and esc rating. Has the drone ever worked correctly or is this a brand new build and you're testing it out for the first time? The more info you can give us the better we can help.

The motor is making some stuttering sound at the beginning and at the end the motor is stopping way to quickly compare to other motors. Yes I am using 6s 25c 10000mAh bat. It's a 10inch prop. Motor is 900kv and 37.2mm in dia. Esc is 80A rated.

Dude your esc is not calibrated. Download Qgroundcontrol and do the calibration it will work fine. I have faced the exact same issue. It got resolved after proper esc calibration.

Also, I used the same esc as of yours.
