The "wall" is designed to protect a large portion of the goal or goal area from the offensive strike. It should block the primary area the offensive player would like to place the ball. This allows the goalkeeper to defend the unprotected areas instead of the entire goal or goal box.

What is the difference between free kick and penalty?

The main differences are that a penalty is only taken from the penalty spot inside the box, and a free kick is taken from where the offence took place, and can happen anywhere on the pitch unless it was a penalty. The opposition is allowed to put up a wall of players to defend the free kick, in a penalty it is only the penalty taker against the goalkeeper.
