screw or nail, what is the utility/difference. what should I use to build a wall?

A nail is used where you either have a secondary fastening (for example, glue) or the structure needs to move a bit due to expansion and contraction. It’s also faster to build.
So, if this is a home project and I think you said a chicken coop, you should use screws. And the main thing to do is select the correct size and drill pilot holes first so that you don’t split your wood.
Ensure you get weather resistant material if you want the thing to stay up for a long time and paint it afterwards with a weather sealant.
