Differentiability implies Lipschitz continuity
$begingroup$
Let $f:[0,1]tomathbb{R}$ be a continuous function and suppose $f$ is differentiable at $x_0in [0,1]$. Is it true that there exists $L>0$ such that $lvert f(x)-f(x_0)lvertleq Llvert x-x_0lvert$?
I know that local continuously differentiable implies local Lipschitz continuity. Is this still true in the case given above?

From differentiability at $x_0$, you will find an $L_1$ such that $| f(x)-f(x_0) |leq L_1| x-x_0|$ for $|x-x_0| < delta$. Since $f$ is continuous on a compact set, $|f(x)|_{infty} < infty$. This will give you an $L_2$ such that $| f(x)-f(x_0) |leq L_2| x-x_0|$ for $|x-x_0| geq delta$. Take $L = max {L_1, L_2}$.

Follow the link above: you need locally bounded derivative (which may be implied in your answer, but deserves mention).

@gnometorule I didn't use that. For what part of my proof do I need that? Isn't that counterexample for global Lipschitz continuity? Here it is just one point.

It is not true as this example from Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipschitz_continuity) proves:
Let $f:[0,1]tomathbb{R},, f(x)=x^{frac{3}{2}}sin(frac{1}{x}),,x>0,, f(0)=0$. Then it's derivate outside $0$ is $f^`(x)=frac{3}{2}x^{frac{1}{2}}sin(frac{1}{x})-x^{-frac{1}{2}}cos(frac{1}{x})$ and note that $limsup_{xdownarrow 0}|f^´(x)|=infty$.
Furthermore $f$ is differentiable in $0$ since
begin{equation}
lim_{hdownarrow 0}leftlvertfrac{h^{frac{3}{2}}sin(frac{1}{h})}{h}rightrvertleqlim_{hdownarrow 0}leftlvert h^{frac{1}{2}}rightrvert=0 , ,
end{equation}
so $f$ actually meets your requirements.
But the unbounded derivative outside $0$ gives us that there is no $epsilon > 0$ and $Lgeq0$ such that $|f(x)-f(y)|leq L|x-y|, forall, x,,yin[0,epsilon]$.
