The cell membrane and the cell wall is are composed of two different things. The cell membrane is made from phospholipid bilayers that becomes flexible by cholesterols. The cell wall is a rigid structure that surrounds the cell membrane that is either composed of cellulose, chitin, or peptidoglycan depending on the cell.
