Does Etabs calculate buckling for walls or not ??
 
no it doesnt. etabs considers the wall as a stiff member and he wont do any buckling check while designing the wall.
pay attention if u are using pier definition to draw a single wall (not braced in the prependicular direction), then buckling should be checked manually or loads exported to another software where buckling is considered
