First off, split the cases up smarter. eg pseudocode:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Currently you have:
  2. if (thousands){
  3.   print thousands
  4.   print hundreds
  5.   print special
  6.   print tens
  7.   print ones
  8. } else {
  9.   print hundreds
  10.   print special
  11.   print tens
  12.   print ones 
  13. }
  14.  
  15. Whereas, to simplify the code, you really should have:
  16. If (thousands?)
  17.   Print thousands
  18. if (hundreds?)
  19.   Print hundreds
  20. if (special?){
  21.   print special
  22. } else {
  23.   print tens
  24.   print ones
  25. }
ALSO!! You could simply add a case 0:
case 0: // output nothing
break;

2. the way you're getting your tens digit is off.
int tens = x / 10;
should be
int tens = x/10 % 10;

You can do this for all of your number parts. eg
thousands = number / 1000 % 10;
hundreds = number / 100 % 10;
tens = number / 10 % 10;
units = number % 10;

I guess it would be simpler if you convert the input value into a string. access the element of that string and get the representation....

First off, split the cases up smarter. eg pseudocode:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Currently you have:
  2. if (thousands){
  3.   print thousands
  4.   print hundreds
  5.   print special
  6.   print tens
  7.   print ones
  8. } else {
  9.   print hundreds
  10.   print special
  11.   print tens
  12.   print ones 
  13. }
  14.  
  15. Whereas, to simplify the code, you really should have:
  16. If (thousands?)
  17.   Print thousands
  18. if (hundreds?)
  19.   Print hundreds
  20. if (special?){
  21.   print special
  22. } else {
  23.   print tens
  24.   print ones
  25. }
ALSO!! You could simply add a case 0:
case 0: // output nothing
break;

2. the way you're getting your tens digit is off.
int tens = x / 10;
should be
int tens = x/10 % 10;

You can do this for all of your number parts. eg
thousands = number / 1000 % 10;
hundreds = number / 100 % 10;
tens = number / 10 % 10;
units = number % 10;
