not being aware of the shape and construction of your home I can only generalize. Depending on how long this has been happening and how much moisture is leaking in you could have serious damage or at least some formation of mold. I would suggest finding the point of entry on the exterior wall and repairing and recaulking any damage first. Then wall covering will need to be opened and an inspection made to determine how to proceed. If major damage has occurred you would usually want a qualified professional to inspect and repair it. The door is open on how to remove minor mold damage from simple soap and water and bleach to a full-blown, and expensive mold removal professional. Check your local codes to see what restrictions apply to your situation. Good luck.

Why does the back wall of your house get wet but the ceiling and wall are dry and now it's wet between bathroom and master bedroom not near the back wall?

If the "wet" is on or near a wall that has plumbing, you have a water leak inside the wall. The wall board is channeling the water to a point where it can excape - either to the exterior of the house (the "back wall") or to the interior of the house (between the bathroom and the master bedroom). In other words, gravity right?

How do you find a water leak?

Water leaks can be tricky. If water is visible on a wall then it could be necessary to cut into the wall to find a leak. Listening in a very quiet house may allow you to hear a spraying leak. If a leak is suspected because of a high water bill, look at the water meter. The small dial moves when water runs. Shut off cut offs under the sinks and toilets and the water should stop running. Turn them on one at a time and watch until the meter tons again. There is your leak.

Where is the whole house water shut off valve located?

Depends. City water, house with a basement, it should be on the wall closest to the street. Could be anywhere in the length of the wall and probably about 4 feet down from the top of the wall. If not there, beside the water heater. City water on a slab, almost always at the floor beside the water heater. Water from a well, either at the well or on the wall closest to the well. For any of these, find the cold water line to the water heater and follow it back to the shut off valve. The water heater tends to be the first thing the water line goes to.
