Not all plants close their stomata at night.
Some plants close their stomata during the day, and opens it up at night (Crassulacean acid metabolism(CAM).
When the stomata is closed, it does not stop oxygen respiration, is only restricts it.

Plants open their stomata in the morning because they require carbon dioxide to perform phototsynthesis. Photosynthesis is possible only if there is a source of light (which is sun mostly). At the night there is no presence of light, so the plants do not perform photosynthesis at night. Hence they don't need Carbon dioxide at night. Therefore, the stomata is closed in the night. Respiration at night is done by intaking oxygen and giving out CO2
