Yes, and it is worth finding on a calm day rather than during a leak. In most houses it sits near where the line enters the basement or crawlspace, ahead of the meter. Closing it stops the water to the whole house, which is the first thing to do if a supply line lets go.

Disconnect and drain garden hoses so the spigot is not holding water, and have any exposed supply line in an unheated space looked at. If a hose bib already drips, that is worth handling before the cold sets in rather than after.

It is a different material with different strengths. PEX flexes, which means it handles hammering and a hard freeze better than rigid pipe, while copper is more resistant to physical damage and to sunlight. Most plumbers here will fit whichever suits the run.

Look at the line where it comes out of the floor or wall near the water heater. Copper is reddish and smooth, galvanized steel is gray with threaded fittings, and PEX is flexible plastic in white, red or blue. A plumber can confirm it and tell you what the rest of the house likely has.
