Hello - if the ends are planar, and closed in the ‘around’ direction, use the Cap command.

What I wanted is to sweep to form a solid barrier as attached. Furthermore, the end part of barriers to be vertically flushed.
Anyone can tell

Hi, Try with closed curves for sections instead of surfaces…

your hand rail is deformed instead of sweep1 copy your red curve (helix) to center of hand rail and use “pipe” command.

Yes, I did.
Sweep in Autocad is OK without deformed
