If there are no valves under the bathroom sink, there are three other possibilities:
In any case, all that it takes is a good pair of pliers to turn off the valve.
Either shut off the exsisting water as it comes into the property. Otherwise isolate it at the incoming stopcock on the street. Cut the pipe, fit the valve. Other wise call a plumber...
In every home thee are a number of shut-off valves. Where the water pipe enters the house is the main shut off, usually beside the PRV, a bell shaped device for regulating the house pressure. This main cold line will then branch off to the water heater, bathrooms and kitchen. Each faucet and the water heater and the toilet will have a shut-off valve. The hot water line comes out of the top of the heater and goes to bathrooms and kitchen. Each hot faucet also has a shut-off valve under it.
Gate valves used to be, now they are being superseded by ball valves.
The shut off valve under the sink, the faucet itself, or most likely, the screen in the end of the spout is plugged. If neither hot or cold is coming out, it is kind of unlikely both shut off valves and both sides of the faucet would go bad at the same time. The screen being clogged would stop any water from coming out. The screen just unscrews out of the spout.
Additional shut off valve, below sink or in basement. Incomplete pipes not tied into bathroom sink line.
the disadvantages are that over a period of time gate valves seize and become in operable. also the handles of gate valves corrode quickly and gate valves don't entirely close properly making it difficult to solder. Gate valves are used for positive shut off and Gate valves are not designed for throttling like a globe pattern type . Gate valve fail because the installer has no idea what these types of valves are intended to do such as main steam shut off's or water mains..If properly used and installed correctly these valves last over 100 years under extream conditions
Roughed-in plumbing refers to plumbing (water and waste lines) installed for future fixtures, for example, a bathroom in a basement. Stops refer to shut-off valves on water supply lines, required to shut-off the water to repair the fixture that they service. So "Rough-in stops" are shut-off valves on supply lines that are roughed-in. If they were not roughed-in, you would need to break concrete floor (to install waste lines) if/when you decided to add a bathroom to your basement family room.
sounds like you have leaky valves, which need to be replaced, by someone with a plumbing background, not necessarily a licensed plumber.
If you have your own water heater there should be a shut off at the heater. If not I would look under the kitchen sink. There may be shut off valves at each fixture. If there is a central water heater in the basement, there would be a shut off to each unit.
The washer in the shut off valve has probably split or come off completely over time.
Find your main water shut off, make sure valve is open wide. check other exsisting shut off valves make sure they are open. With all valves properly open if pressure is still low, call the water supply company and have them check it at the curb.

A valve in a plumbing line that closes the line before the fixture it is connected to. For water there are usually shut off valves under the sink and right above the floor for the toilet. For gas, there is usually a valve that a flexible line attaches to and then to the appliance.

An air-intake engine shut-off valve regulates air-flow to the motor, and operates as an emergency shut-off valve. There are also shut-off valves on water hoses, so shut-off valves really control the inflow of any liquid or gas.
