If your dog is facing a wall and pressing its head on it, you need to call a vet and tell them what your dog is doing. If a dog is staring at the wall in a corner, its a sign that something could be wrong.

I agree, if your dog is pressing or rubbing their head against the wall call a vet
It can be a little strange when dogs do this and the reasons are kinda endless
Another reason could be because there's a critter somewhere behind the wall, it may be time for you to put the Sherlock hat on and check around
Is your dog elderly? If so then this could be one sign you might wanna take them to the vet, there can be a lot of reason, one even being a version of Alzheimers (yes, dogs can get that too) or canine cognitive dysfunction
Your dog could just be plain weird, but that's ok because you still love them!
There are some other reasons your dog could be doing this, I really encourage you to search and read some articles by http://www.flvetbehavior.com/ (FVBS)
