you should call someone to look at your home's foundation. you can easily have this settling problem corrected.
as for a temporary solution, get some drywall putty and smooth it on the cracks, then let dry, then sand--keep a vacuum handy (repeat if necessary) then paint.
as for the wall being damp, I'm guessing your wall is below grade. (the ground) check your gutters and keep them clean, you can also install corrugated pipe around the perimeter of that wall and direct the water away from your home.
your best bet is to get a contractor to help you. check with your local better business bureau.

You have to give as much info as possible.
Just give a longer description, it will save time in the long run.
cracks inside or outside?
damp inside or outside?
Wall close to the ground or not?
any leaking pipes near by?
does the damage look like water damage?
I can help (builder) but wont waste my time if you could not be bothered to provide any details.
If you just wont to sit back and let everybody else do the work, then pay somebody to do the repair.

make sure no air bricks have been blocked up ,this can cause damp,you can also get thin layers of polystyrene to put on the wall, thiswill keep the cold out and keep the room warmer ,you can paper over it so wont be noticed.
