"Godspeed" is not often used any more in conversation. It's a noun meaning success or good fortune. When you say to someone "Godspeed you on your journey!" you are wishing them a safe and enjoyable trip.
It is from two Old English words, "God" + "speden" meaning "to prosper." Thus, the sense of God watching over you to ensure your success or safety. I hope this is helpful.
