Call the power company and report an outage
You lost one of your phases of power. This is almost always a problem at the power company's end of the wire.
When you turn your oven on, it has the effect of connecting the dead phase to the still-live one. However this gives very weak power on the dead phase, and this won't hold.
Go to your breaker panel and shut off all your double-wide (2-pole) breakers - oven, dryer, water heater, air conditioner etc.
Then call the power company and report the outage. They should come out quickly (unless they're busy recovering from the bad weather of late), and the work will be free.
