    Give it a week or two ... it might sprout below the break

    Without seeing the plant can't say for sure but when mine do it I just cut off the cracked part and the rest regrows fine.

    If the split isn't due to the Squash Vine Borer (which you could pull out of the stalk with tweezers or inject the stalk with BT) - you can bury the split area with dirt.

    Here is a link that might be useful: Squash Vine Borer in Zucchini Stalk
