Place a terrain break line in the middle of that wall and elevation lines on each side, then shape it manually in a cross section view as you want.

When I checked the box Terrain Retaining Wall on the foundation wall I get the error "The terrain interpolator is ignoring terrain breaks and retaining walls due to complexity of this calculation"   If I uncheck terrain retaining wall I don't get the error but my 3d is pretty messed up as you can see I am getting weird spikes

Upload your file and I or others should be able to tell what is wrong

I would do as RGARDNER suggests,  do tot check box for retaining wall.

I actually disagree with this statement.  That will cut the wall to the profile of the terrain.  I would personally do it how they would build it IRL and manually cut the top edge and step it down where needed.
