Hi, welcome to HCM!
1) over 1 cm stone is unlikely to pass on its own. You need to do- USG KUB to look for location, size of stone, hydronephrosis/hydroureter, if any.
Also do- X-ray KUB, RFT, Sr. uric acid, Urine (R & M), CBC.
Till then take antispasmodics, analgesics, diuretics, tansulosin with your doctor's advice. Drink plenty of water.
Consult your Urologist with the reports.
2) Cause for high WBC count needs to be sorted out. You haven't mentioned exact value. Likely focus of infection in your case seems to be urinary tract, caused by stone. Do blood sugar level.
You haven't mentioned your age/sex/any history of fever..
3) See your Orthopedic doctor for your neck pain/lumbar radiculopathy/walking difficulty..
Wish you a speedy recovery.
With warm regards.
Take care.
Thanks!
