If they are 'standard' walls you can just select all and swap the fill for another one.

If they are 'Composite' walls you can select all and swap the composite for another but make sure it is the same width composite or the wall width will change.
If you don't have another composite to swap to you can edit the existing composite or create a new one and swap to that.

If they are 'complex profile' walls you will need to swap for another profile or edit/create a new one.

If they are all on the same layer/s, you could use the find function to select them. eg. Walls => Wall - Internal
