Dear
Student,
Please find below the solution
to the asked query:

Mirror is made up of a very smooth surface, whereas wall is not
made up of a smooth surface
Smooth surfaces reflect the incident light to more extent,
where as rough surfaces absorb most of the incident light
Moreover, the reflection from wall is not a regular reflection,
instead, it is an irregular / diffused reflection Hence, the
reflected light from walls can't form the image and wall can't act
as a mirror
