Did any city attack or invade catal huyuk and uruk?
Catal Huyuk existed from 7,500 BCE to 5,700 BCE, and due to its pre-historic period we know little about its warlike activities. Uruk existed from about 5000 BCE to 700 CE during which time it was involved in many contests and variously invaded or was invaded.
When Uruk was conquered what happen to the city's walls?
There wasn't a case of Uruk being 'conquered' at any point in time. In the thousands of years that it existed, it was and remained part of the Sumer and Babylonian empires. Its importance gradually declined, and it was simply abandoned by the remnants of its population around the year 600. Undoubtedly the city played its part over the centuries in wars and conflicts. If in the process it was ever occupied, the walls would be in some cases torn down, the stones being used for other buildings or for the construction of new walls.
