I forgot to double check my oven before I left for a week long trip this morning. Now I am worried that my house will burn down. It's a electric stove there is nothing in it except two cooking pans

Most non-OCD types would assume it is OK. Did you have it on immediately before you left? If not there is nothing real to fear. Do you have a neighbor that you left a spare key with? If you do ask them to check it.
If you had pots in there with ovenproof handles even a week of heating would not bother them. If they were not ovenproof they might get overheated and make a burnt-plastic smell but are unlikely to blaze up and cause external damage.

Well I wouldn't even be able to sleep if I were you! Definately call someone -- the fire department, police, friend, landlord or neighbor to get in their and check. It would be irresponsible, stupid, and dangerous to ignore it.

Could definitely start a fire. Call a friend or police to enter house and make sure it's off.

Should not be a problem. You will probably have a very high utility bill..
