Program becomes unresponsive but is still running

Console put from program

Welcome to the Widget Store!

Would you like to purchase a widget? (y/n) y

How many widgets would you like? we Error! Invalid Number! Enter a whole number: 45

Cursor just continues to blink but will not take keyboard input

The program had no issues running before adding the check_value function. Not sure where I am going wrong and have tried several different solutions.
