That means the valve has failed internally, and the curb stop at the street becomes the only shutoff you have. Get the water department out to close it so the house can be isolated, then have the interior valve replaced before the next cold stretch. A house without a working main valve has no defense against a burst line.

Look on the street-facing wall of the basement, close to where the service line comes through the foundation, usually within a few feet of the meter. Homes on a crawlspace often have it near the pressure tank or under the kitchen instead. If the house has been added onto, the valve can end up behind finished wall, which is worth knowing before you need it.

It depends entirely on your policy, the cause of the failure and whether the damage is sudden or gradual, so contact your insurance provider before you assume anything. Many policies treat a sudden burst differently from a slow leak that went unnoticed. Photograph the failure point and the damage before repairs begin, since adjusters ask for it.

Both exist across this part of the state, and the answer often changes street by street rather than town by town. Homes on the older built-up streets tend to be on a public main, while properties further out toward Massapequa Park run their own wells. What you are on decides whether a curb stop exists at all.
