Springs carry the weight of the door, so a break is obvious once you know what to look for.
Symptoms of a Failure
A loud bang, a door that won't lift with the opener, a heavy door when lifted by hand, or a visible split in the spring all indicate a broken spring.
Call a Technician
The stored energy in a torsion spring makes replacement dangerous without the right tools and correctly rated parts, so professional repair is strongly recommended.
