Could be the ignitor. Need more info. What model gas valve? Hear any sparking? See any glowing? If you aren't mechanically inclined, I'd suggest calling a professional.

It looks like you have an Intermittent Ignition type system. When a call for heat is started it should spark at the pilot and the pilot should light. Look for a small blue flame. Then the gas valve should click and the burners should light.

Make sure the gas is on, make sure the switch is on , check circuit breaker to make sure it is not tripped. We just had a holiday so also check your possible stairway switch. Visitors sometime mistake it for the light switch and shut it off.
