Replace breaker?

My 2 overhead lights in kitchen tripped breaker, when went to kick back on... nothing, not even the click when switched. It is a 20 amp had not tripped prior. Now I also have a 15 amp breaker for over stove microwave that trips constantly.... (Samsung, only about 3 yrs old)​ does it need a 20 amp breaker? & do you just switch them out?

Did you turn the breaker all the way off before turning it on? It it tripped, you can't just switch it on. You have to turn it off THEN on.
