It’s possible to keep the Profile sketch Normal to the start direction if you wish
To enable this click at the Options menu and change the Orientation/twist type into Keep normal constant
There are many other options in the Sweep menubar such as the Follow Path and 1st Guide Curve / Follow 1st and 2nd Guide Curves / Twist Along Path and Twist Along Path with Normal Constant.
The best way to discover these options is to try and notice what happens with the sweep.
You can also make a hollow sweep with the Thin Feature
Just select the Thin Feature option in the Sweep menubar and change the Thickness of the wall
Click OK
