Did Pericles build the large walls around the city-state during the war with Sparta?
No - these had been rebuilt the following year after being destroyed by the Persians in 480 BCE.

The object was for Athens to be immune from land attack, and to be able to continue using its naval power to control its empire, to harrass any opponent with amphibious raids, and import food during a seige. This was 30 years before the Peloponnesian War, and before Pericles came into preeminence.
