Default icicle forming on outdoor faucet

I believe the National code requires a shut off valve inside your house
within a foot of the outside wall.

Of course there's an apparent leak -- the icicle is evidence of that.

and no problem is visible

I can't find a way to turn off that faucet. There is no turn value for
that faucet only.
