More likely the igniter is burned out. Check out https://www.repairclinic.com. They have repair guides, schematics, and sell parts. Put in the make, model number of your appliance. Happened to me several months ago. Removed to oven bottom pan, turned on the oven and the igniter didn't glow. Ordered one and replaced it. Not all ovens have a removable pan, You can also Google how to check the igniter on your model.
Check the igniter. They can wear out over time.
Check Igniters. This is the most common cause of an oven not working even while the stove does. Sometimes the igniter can simply wear out over time, or it can break for other reasons. If the igniter coil and the element for any signs of damage or discoloration, which are good signs that they may need to be replaced.
If your electric oven isn't working, the most likely explanation is that the heating element is faulty. The element is the part of the oven that actually heats up, and it's relatively easy to replace.
If you have pilotless ignition, ignitor as suggested above. If not, check the pilot light. Also, see if you can smell gas getting to the oven because you could have a line clog.
Check the gas supply to ensure it is not impeded and is getting through to your oven.
Check igniters, which is the most common cause of an oven not working even while the stove does.
Inspect the igniter to make sure that it is connected, remove it with a screwdriver, and replace it if it doesn’t work.
Generally the switching is different for the oven from the cooktop. I personally wouldn’t mess with it for fear of making things worse and call a repair person.
Sounds like an ignitor is not working, if you can't access it, call repair.
The top surface units are an entirely separate entity, one from another with the commonality of a gas source. Additionally one burner can stop functioning correctly when others do. Take the advice about the igniter...that's the first thought of most of us.
They are 2 different units is there a reset on the plug try to unplug the oven switch the switch click it off then on plug back in it might be burnt out
It looks like they're two separate appliances.
Hi Bobby, hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the sound advice everyone
Use the ignitor suggested above if your ignition system is pilotless. Otherwise, inspect the pilot light. Additionally, check to see if you can smell gas escaping from the oven; a clogged line may be the problem. The changeover process for the oven and cooktop differs typically. For fear of making matters worse and needing to hire a repairman, I personally wouldn't touch it.
