Yes, well there are a couple of things to consider and test.
First and foremost, check your GWT code and make sure that nothing's change. Same with Google Analytics.
Have you changed platforms?
If not, I would say it's "Hoy Crap Batman" time and you need to start analyzing everything. What's your Pagespeed? Is your site online? If so, was it offline earlier in the week? (Maybe you weren't checking every minute) If your site is hosted by someone else, get on the phone and demand some answers.

Iam using WordPress blogging platform and checked the GWT and Analytics but there were no break in code.
Im using Google Pagespeed CDN service ? will that cause such problems.Previously I was using Cloudflare.
Current PageSpeed is 92 and load time is under 3seconds.I checked the pingdom report and it doesn't show any down time stats.

What strikes me is at the same time as your pages crawled fell off a cliff your page load time doubles. What changed round about then that would have caused an increase in load times?
If that was around the time you switched CDN, I'd be double and triple checking the new one was set up perfectly and is an improvement on cloudflare. Did all your pages suddenly get markedly bigger, perhaps due to another plugin being added? Pingdom tools is also great for picking apart load times.
That would be where I'd start...
