if martial law is declared, a president can make up or bypass whatever laws he wishes. although under normal conditions it isn't that simple. it has to be voted upon in the senate, congress before going to the supreme court to be finally made a law.

The President can certainly do so, but he is not obligated to do so. Members of Congress ought to know what laws need passing on their own. The President signs bills once both houses of Congress pass them to make them law. The President might ask Congress to address areas needing legislation, and might suggest the form the legislation ought to take, but Congress is not obligated to comply. If Congress is controlled by the same party the President belongs to (as in the US today) then Congress usually goes along.

Did Barack Obama made new laws?

No, he did not. Under the American system of government, a president can propose or suggest a new policy, and he can advocate for something he would like to see become a law. But he cannot make any laws. Only congress can do that. Congress votes on a bill, and if the bill gets enough votes, it becomes a law. After that happens, the president can either sign it or veto it. But the laws themselves still come from the congress.
