No, all the planets orbit the Sun in the same direction, counter-clockwise as seen from high above the north pole.

However, Venus itself does now rotate (spin) in a clockwise fashion, which is the reverse of the other planets. Something obviously occurred that stopped its original spin.

No. Venus has retrograde rotation, meaning it spins in the opposite direction from the other planets. Uranus spins on its side.

No, some do but Uranis is tilted almost 90 degrees (so is lieing on its side), and Venus ... with a slow rotation in the opposite direction. Spin is the result of random collisions, not some orderly process.
