A new 240 volt socket outlet needs to be installed so that you can then just plug the new dryer into it.
Call a licensed electrician.

Lowe's.com has a very good tutorial on how to wire 240 volt receptacles including the hookups in the fuse box.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

You'll have to change the wiring and the receptacle. Your oven is most likely 4-wire, and your dryer circuit is 3-wire. Even if your oven is 3-wire, it will need more amperage than the dryer. Ovens typically require 30-40 amps, which will require a circuit (wire and breaker) rated for 40-50 amps. The range plug is designed to go into a 240v, 50a receptacle, so I would make my new circuit 50 amps, with 8/3 (with ground) romex. <><><> As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Buy the appropriate dryer outlet. Loads are black and red, neutral is white, gnd is green or bare stranded. Many receptacles will have marks to identify the wires, use the marks to match up and guide you on which wire to put where in the new receptacle. Be sure to turn off the breaker or remove the fuse to the outlet before you begin.
Yes, you can. Don't forget to also convert the stove BREAKER to a dryer BREAKER (otherwise your dryer can someday fry well before the breaker trips).
Different plugs are designed so that you can't plug an appliance into the wrong voltage. A dryer is usually 220-240 Volts and your standard outlet is 110-120 Volts. You can't do what you suggest.
50 amp 3 and 4-wire.
no becuse of the sterotypes it as lol
Change either the plug or the cord. The fourth prong is another ground. It would be easier to change the cord.
You have to go buy a new four prong chord, unscrew the base of the old chord, and switch them out.
The plugs are different. The prongs are straight on one and angled on the other. The wire and breaker are the same. You can either change the outlet or the cord.
