I want to create a test for my robot by moving it 1 meter to forward or backward but without using localization but just the odom but I still want feedback so I am wondering if it is possible to use actionlib to that

Thanks in advance.

Are you using the navigation stack to move your robot?

You don't actually need actionlib to do drive using only odometry. You can subscribe to your vehicle's odometry, and publish a command velocity based on how much your odometry thinks the vehicle moved. But beware that this is subject to odometric errors like wheel slip, differences in the diameter of both the wheels, quantization errors, etc.

Here is a tutorial that might help you get started.
