Assuming you are planning on doing the work yourself:  I don't know
how to say this without being a wee bit blunt, but it's important for
me to ask:  Should someone who is unsure what a gas shutoff looks like
be contemplating a DIY gas plumbing job?

Me, I'd spray a bit of penetrating oil on it before I gave up on the
existing shutoff...
