I am looking to close off a stairwell with a new drywall wall. The area it will be installed is already finished with carpet stretched over the concrete floor and a popcorn drywall ceiling.
What are my choices for dealing with the existing carpet and ceiling?

Michael has a good answer in the comments.
You need to cut your carpet where your wall would be. Roll back your carpet a few feet so it is not damaged, install wall (this should be its own question if you have a specific problem), retack next to wall for carpet, stretch carpet out, and place carpet on tack strips.
