OK, I am not sure where the water valve is, probably under the sink, but I figure if I shut that off, it won't hurt anything for a few weeks, right? I live in a condo so I doubt the pipes will freeze in this hot weather in the southern US anyway. Thanks.

I would do both. Since you don't know where the leak is, you need to make sure that where ever the leak is, it'll be stopped. If it is in the line to the icemaker, you might still find a puddle when you get home, but not as much as if the line was still open.

I found a water leak on the floor and it seems to be from the icemaker. Unfortunately, we are going away for a few weeks starting tomorrow, and cannot call in a plumber. If I turn OFF the icemaker (in other words, put it in the UP position so it does not make ice), would that temporarily solve the problem so that if it is in conjunction with the icemaker that will stop the passage of water? OR -- better yet -- should I shut the valve that leads to the icemaker, but I don't know which valve it is. Help, please.
