While shooting my SKS I encountered a problem, it stopped firing and the action is stuck shut and wont open. I dont know if there is a live round inside or not.

Any suggestions?

1) remove the gas tube and take out the op rod, reinstall the gas tube and fire the weapon.

once it is deemed clear (no live round in chamber) or does not fire-remove trigger group and start taking the rifle apart...

let that be a last resort......usually the bolt binds, so when you take out the trigger group and mag, strip off the top cover and recoil assembly, you can turn it over and tap on the bolt to try and make it open or at least unlock/unbind....curb stomping is a very last resort.....

so the gas tube can clog up and cause this?

no, it so you can fire the rifle without the action cycling....like when you shut the gas valve off on a Yugo 59/66 SKS for launching grenades....
