We used our electric stove to heat up our home. We turned all 4 top burners on and the oven. We left the oven door open. It stayed on about 45 minutes. Well, i turned everything off for about 2 minutes. When i went back to cook, the digital clock and oven went out. Top burners still work. What happened?

Uh, like voiding warranties do you?
Sounds like you busted it. Ovens are NOT space heaters.....
If you're lucky, there's a thermal fuse that will self-reset in an hour or so of no use. You might try cycling the breaker. But really don't. If its acting badly because of a wiring problem the last thing you want to do is re-energize that wiring.
If the oven does not start working after several hours of non-use (thermal fuse), you have destroyed it. You get to buy a new oven now. If the new oven does not work, then you also get to run new wiring from the breaker panel to the oven.
It's going to be very expensive. But cheaper than paying to rebuild the structure and put up room and board in a burn ward for all the residents.
