Hi Krystin,
This might be because different Wallaces have coats-of-arms, that is, different individuals with the Wallace surname have a particular coat-of-arms.
Coat-of-arms are bestowed upon one particular individual, then they descend from one descendant to the next, typically, in the direct male line of the armigerous ancestor.
For further information about coats-of-arms of English families, you may wish to go to the College of Arms' website:
http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk
If this surname is Scottish as in one of the most famous Scots to live as in William Wallace, then the Lord Lyon of Scotland's website would be good to contact:
http://www.lyon-court.com/lordlyon/CCC_FirstPage.jsp
You can also write to the Lord Lyon:
The Court of the Lord Lyon
HM New Register House
Edinburgh
EH1 3YT
Finally, you may wish to peruse Cyndi's List:

This website has links about heraldry amongst other genealogical information and websites!
Good luck, and I hope this helps!
Sincerely,
Jason Simmons
