Start with the thermostat set to "heat" & below room temperature: Is anything happening?
Turn the stat up to well above room temp: Describe in as much detail as practical as to what happens. It's best to have someone else turn up the stat while you watch & listen to the furnace.

If you have a Honeywell smart valve, it is very possible it is the valve. I have seen it with power outage and lightning. Is the inducer turning?
