You could add a Dimension between the Wall and the Grid and lock the dimension.
But in answer to what I think you're really asking - No, there is not a way to Lock the Walls as you're drawing them. Any method would be after the fact.
Also - just to throw in a voice of experience, I've found that it's rarely a good idea to Lock Walls.
It always seems to be a great idea, but once you get multiple people on a project (or come back to it months later) you won't remember what's locked to what, and you'll spend a lot of time chasing Walls that are moving "unpredictably". Or - even worse you won't even notice that a Wall has moved on the First floor after you moved something else on the Second floor plan.

On the second Revit project we ever did (holy moley, that was in 2005!) we locked a bunch of Walls.
Then the main Revit person on the project quit.
We had one wall way over on the west side of the building that kept moving when we'd change Walls on the East. Then when we'd move it back, something else somewhere else would get screwed up.
Never did figure out what it was locked to.
We finally had to put a note on the plan saying the Wall wasn't really where is showed.

That's a real bimmy solution... lol
Whenever you run into this problem, use Cut to clipboard and Paste to same place to remove the constraints...
After a few months of working off and on in Revit I've come to a sticking point. Constraints don't always behave the way I expect them to. So I'm looking...
So I have an idea for a Revit add-in, and I would love to get some feedback on whether its even possible to build, how difficult it would be to build,...
