How should families coordinate guest safety when a venue's main lift stops working?

Direct answer
Follow the venue's competent contingency plan and provide a usable alternative rather than attempting an improvised carry or lift repair.
Tell affected guests what has happened, ask about their needs and keep assistance coordinated through responsible staff. If essential spaces cannot be reached safely, relocate the activity or pause access as appropriate. Emergency evacuation needs separate planning and should not depend on an ordinary passenger lift. A broken lift can remove access even when the original booking was described as accessible.
