Try creating the cross-section, and then using a sweep. Create a line representing the backbone of the sweep. Either create a normal/up vector attributes to represent the rotation of each cross-section at each point, or use the scale/twist/roll parameters on the sweep node itself. The cross section should be on the X-Y plane to work right.

Here is one way. You can also google “houdini screw”. There should be some threads about it.
