Then the valve and the pipe are one problem, not two, because working a valve on brittle service pipe can start a leak in the pipe itself. Pennsylvania has plenty of housing old enough for that to be a live question. A plumber will look at the pipe material first and plan the repair around it.

Usually because debris stirred up by the work has caught in an aerator, a valve or a filter, and sometimes because a valve was left part closed. It often clears on its own once the system flushes through. If it does not, a plumber can check whether the problem is at the meter, the main shutoff or further in.

Almost always, though on very old properties the inside valve can be missing, painted over or plumbed in a spot nobody would guess. Finding it and confirming it actually closes is worth doing on a quiet afternoon rather than during a leak. If there really isn't one, adding a proper main valve is a straightforward job for a plumber.

No, and it usually means the packing or the seat is worn rather than that you did anything wrong. Old gate valves in particular tend to weep once they get moved after years of sitting. It is a small repair when handled on its own and a bad surprise if it turns up in the middle of an emergency.
