Is there a pressure rise and velocity change across a turbofan fan and stator?
The answer is kind of yes and no.

Actually the thrust is always the force with balances the pressure forces on all the parts of an aero-engine.

This means (clarification in the next paragraph) that both propeller and jet-engine "create" thrust with the pressure and suction side pressure distribution of the blades. The following picture from Rolls-Royce's The Jet Engine illustrates that nicely.



Actually nozzle and turbine create drag, because the pressure forces in them do not point into the direction of flight. (Thought-Experiment: Just imagine the bolts of the nozzle would fail: If the nozzle would create thrust it would stay attached to the engine. But as one can imagine the nozzle would fly away from the aircraft).

The nozzle is needed to control the pressure level of the whole engine in order to allow for the engine-process-cycle to work properly. And because of this link one can use momentum conservation to calculate the thrust based on the inlet and exit momentum (velocity) of the airflow.



Looking at a turbo-fan engine the answer stays the same. 
From the turbo machinery point of view: The fan does the same two things every compressor stage does. Two things: adding static pressure and whirl. The whirl is converted into pressure in the guide vanes, downstream of the fan.

From the thrust point of view: The fan-blades create the thrust, the stator-vanes (OGVs) down-stream of the fan-blades create drag. But as with the compressor and the nozzle above, without the OGVs the pressure-ratio of the fan would be lower and so would the fan-thrust.



One additional part is needed: The nozzle of the bypass. The above picture by JAXA nicely illustrates that (at least for modern engine installations) the bypass airflow is guided through a convergent-divergent nozzle.

So to sum up. Yes there is a pressure rise (at least locally) across the rotor and a velocity change as well. But the thrust (and drag) is produced by the pressure forces on blades and vanes (and all other engine parts).
And yes the fan operates very similar to a rotor stator setup of a compressor. 
But the vanes in a compressor work like a diffuser, reducing the flow velocity. In order to keep the flow velocity mostly constant the annulus is shaped like a nozzle to balance the increased density.
