What could the the cause of water to quit flowing to washer machine it is not the inlet screens or the washer only way to get water back is to turn off at main then turn on a faucet?
This is just a guess. If only the hot or the cold stops and not both of them, it might be that the washer in the shut off valve has come off and is plugging the line. When you shut off the main and then open another faucet, the back pressure in the line pushes the washer out. If this is the case, the washer should still be in the shut off valve. Turn off the main and take the stem out of the faucet. The washer should be the valve.

How do you change the washer on a very old tub faucet that leaks and do you unscrew the little nut on the handle to do it?
A "very old tub faucet" probably has a washer AND packing around the stem. Back off (open a little) the handle, remove the cap nut (the one the stem goes through that threads onto the faucet), this should do it. Replace the washer, wrap pipe thread around the stem (probably a good idea to touch up the seat while you're there) and reinstall.
How do you replace a rubber washer in faucet?
You remove the handle then unscrew main interior body of the faucet. You will now see a small screw on the inner end of the stem holding the washer. Remove this screw and refit the same size washer (there are dozens of sizes, you may have to get an assorted bag of washer from the store, -only about $3-4)
