crack in pipe

The drain pipe for my kitchen sink is cracked in the wall. is this a costly repair?

That could depend on your wall, the cover and where the pipe failure is. Is it in the vertical 2 inch pipe or the tubular brass connection. Finding the failure/defect and exposing the joint will save time before the plumber arrives.

i turned the water off,and when i turned the water back on everything came on but the bathroom and kitchen sink.

First remove the aerators from those two faucets and run the water. If water comes out, clean and replace the aerators (after running the water for a sufficient amount of time to insure that all loose debris has been removed from the water lines). The aerators are the things at the business end of the spouts that has the screen in it.
