4g on my LG G6 has stopped working. When I turn it on the 4g singnal doesn't show up in my notification bar. When I try to use the internet nothing loads, but I don't get a offline notification. The weird thing is that I am able to create a hotspot with my 4g and use the internet on other devices.

Great, that eliminates the SIM card as being physically damaged. Now you'll want to confirm that your APN settings for your service provider are correct, and/or factory reset the phone to wipe potentially problematic apps from it.

Gotcha, and yes, the phone can certainly be damaged. If you can take the phone to your carrier and have them test it with another SIM card, this will quickly rule out if the phone is the problem. While you're there, they can input / verify that their APN settings are correct for 4G / LTE service too.

Depends on how the phone is damaged. If it's a defect that the terms of the warranty cover, then it will be covered. Otherwise it won't be. To know for sure you'd have to check with LG's warranty terms and/or the place you purchased it from.

The only damage I have done to it is that the back glass is a bit cracked
