Re: a curved wall
I can make a wall in an arc but not oval. If there is a way, please let me know.
You probably tried it with two halves of a circle. Your're correct that doesn't create an oval. You need a wall split in 4: wide curve, sharp curve, wide curve, sharp curve. You can play with the lenghts and curve degrees to get a smooth oval. For other randomly curved walls: for every change of curvature use a extra (part of the) wall. It's an easy way to create random curves for a small natural pool or lake, or the sides of a river.
A trick for a full circle: create one wall and curve it 180°. Copy&paste, then rotate the copy 180°.

Re: a curved wall
And an even easier circle... Draw a line from left to right, than back to left - double-click to end and attach it The last segment will be highlighted - modify the arc to 180 degree Now you can see the first segment, modify that also to 180 degrees Ready

Yes, another way to create a wall circle and with the advantage that the walls are connected
When you curve a wall it actually creates a series of straight wall sections that are rotated around a curve. In some cases that has too little detail (or too much!) for what you want. To get around that there's another way: Instal the Generate Regular Room plugin. Set the number of sides to a number that fits the level of detail you want and generate the room (max sides is 300). Select the create wall tool and double click in the room. It will create a wall around the room. In the case of a 128 sided room the wall circle will have 128 sections to form the circle, with 12 sides, a circle with 12 wall sections: dodecagon
