Extrude is the command you are looking for.  But bear in mind that if you extrude a single line you will get a surface.  Extrude a closed polyline and you'll get a solid.  2010?  Then you probably also have the Polysolid command which would be ideal for creating walls.

That's the Ribbon you'll see if you are in the 2D Drafting workspace.  You need to change to the 3D Modelling workspace.  Look down in the lower right hand corner of your screen.  See the icon with the Gear on it?  Click it.  This is where you access the various Workspaces that will, in turn, affect how your Ribbon looks and what commands are available to you.
