Possibly Shakespeare was making a point that someone who gains power through violence loses it through violence. Macbeth anticipated such an eventuality: "We but teach bloody instructions which, being taught, return to plague the inventor. This even-handed justice commends the ingredience of our poison'd chalice to our own lips.."

Why did Shakespeare make mmacbeth a villen?

I assume you meant "Why did Shakespeare make Macbeth a villan?" Well, what could the storyline have been if he wasn't a villan? Shakespeare's Macbeth was based on the real Macbeth. He murdered his king, Duncan, and became king. I guess that means that the real Macbeth was a villan, and so Shakespeare only kept it that way, showing it wasn't Shakespeare that made his character of Macbeth a villan.

Was Macbeth a fictional character made up by Shakespeare?

Macbeth was not a fictional character made up by Shakespeare. He was based on a historical character, although he is not in any way like the real historical Macbeth. Shakespeare took most of the story of Macbeth from the history book Holinshed's Chronicles which contains most of the events shown in the play. Shakespeare did develop the character of Macbeth found in Holinshed, but he did not invent him.
