Are you using only the default widgets, or have you downloaded additional widgets as plugins?
I’m only using the sidebar widget that came with the download, nothing else.
BUT I should mention that besides floating the sidebar to the left, I also changed the code to call the sidebar before the content. It’s being called from my Header.PHP file, before the <body>. I don’t think this would cause the widget to cease functionality, would it?

That’s unrelated, but not a good thing. You shouldn’t have that before the <body> tag or you’re going to have unpredictable weirdness when people view your blog depending on what browser they’re using.
Since it doesn’t sound like it’s being caused by a particular widget, try searching. There have been lots of posts about this sort of thing:

Here’s a longish thread with several suggestions worth trying:

Another odd thing… I have three themes: Default Kubrick, WordPress Classic, and Silver Light.
The sidebar widgets work with the default theme, but not Classic (on which it worked yesterday), and not Silver Light, which I hadn’t tried until just now.
A little odd. Is there a simple way to reinstall the widget, or would that not even make a difference?
Solved!
Thanks a lot for your help–turns out that the Classic sidebar I was using was *not* widgetized.
