The hot water valve is usually located on the left side, and the cold water valve on the right.
Rotate both the hot and cold water valves underneath the sink in order to turn them off.
Most water supply valves need to be turned clockwise to shut them off, but some valves may need to be turned counter-clockwise.
"Multi-Turn" valves will rotate many times before stopping. The other newer type is a "Quarter-Turn" valve and will shut off in a quarter turn of the knob. Quarter turn valves usually have smaller knobs than shown.
Test that the water is turned off by turning the faucet on for both cold and hot water and checking if any water runs. If there is still running water, you either turned the wrong valve(s), or you need to turn them the other direction.
It is also common for the water supply valves to fail and you will need to turn the main water off in that case.
