You can only create Walls a in plan (story) views, or 3D.

In the example you mention, the dwg would go on a Worksheet, which would then become the trace Reference for a floor plan view. The walls would be traced over the dwg linework in plan, not on the worksheet.

Hard to make that sound clear. Maybe someone else can word it better if it does not make sense?

Cheers,

Go to floor plan, and in the navigator, right-click the worksheet you placed the DWG on and select "Show as Trace Reference".

The DWG will appear ghosted beneath the floor plan and you can draw walls above that snap to the DWG lines.
