There is no such thing -- this is taken from the word "upheaval"
"up·heav·al (ŭp-hē'vəl) n.
The process of being heaved upward.
An instance of being so heaved.
A sudden, violent disruption or upset: “the psychic upheaval caused by war” (Wallace Fowlie).
Geology. A raising of a part of the earth's crust."
So, the word "heaval" does not exist by itself, but can be used that way in a punning sense, such as in Piers Anthony's book: Up in a Heaval. After all, if you can say "upriver" and have a river, why can't you say "upheaval" and have a "heaval"?
But then, Piers Anthony is famous for misuse of the English language, with wonderful results!!
And then there is Swami Beyondananda on the New Millennium:
"Now downheaval, that is a different story. I tell you, compared to downheaval, upheaval is definitely the lesser of two heavals.", which is a WHOLE other pun!!
