Still no flame? Lots of good suggestions have been provided above.
I had the spider thing happen overnight once. I now put part of a dog flea collar in the outside access bay of the water heater and have not had a problem with spiders since.

Atwood gas valves have two 12 volt coils.

And on teh Dinosaur board recommendation.. SECOND.
Suspects in order
Out of gas (Stove won't light)
Tank(s) shut off (Stove wont't light)
Bad regulator (Stove may light or not but all burners at once likely not).
Pinched gas line (Visual inspect)
Bad valve
Bad control valve
Clogged orifice (A spider likes to nest in 'em clean and try again)

When leads are touched together it should read close to Zero. When testing the coils, the meter should read around 25-40 Ohms on each coil. Most digital meters have automatic range.
Voltage test would be done on around a 20 volt DC scale. One lead (black) goes to ground and the red lead would go to circuit board output.
Didn't ask before, Does the ignitor click? This is spark at the water heater end of burner tube.
Which Lakewood are you located?

Check the coil ground wire connection. Located behind gas valve connected via the valve mounting screw.
Use volt meter to check for 12 volts DC coming out of circuit board while the ignitor is sparking. No 12 volts DC means new circuit board. Recommend Dinosaur Electronics version.
