gas oven stopped working
 
Can't hear or smell gas coming out of the burners. Electric starter not
making "clicking" noise. Won't light with a match. Grill is working with the
electric starter. What might be wrong?

There are a number of possibilities. My guess is that this might be an
oven where the gas for the oven uses a solenoid operted gas valve and it's
broken.

Is it one with a fold down lid? If so it may be the lid inhibit device
has got a little sticky and has stuck in the closed position.

But then the grill would probably also stop.
Lids have either:
No interlock (common on low end kit).
Total cut off of the supply gas.
Mechanical interlock to the hob gas taps.
