If your concern is the big valve in your home that shuts off water to your home, then the next shutoff valve is located in your front yard where your water meter is. You can shut off the water there. Look for what looks like a small manhole cover with a nut on it. Open it up, find the valve and turn it off. If it is the valve in your yard then that is the water company's problem. Only they can shut off valves further up the line to repair that one, and besides it's their equipment.
Close the shut-off valves by rotating the knob in a clockwise position. Use your hand to tighten the shut-off valve. You don't want to over-tighten or you could damage the shut-off valve. Turn on the hot and cold water on the faucet attached to your bathroom sink. Allow any water that was stuck in the pipe between the faucet and the shut-off valve to drain out.
