You're right. Wolf spiders don't spin webs to catch prey. Yours might've been sitting on the egg sac to protect it.

House spiders that I'm aware of make messy cobwebs. Webs that have a "hole" that looks like the spider is hidden somewhere down inside something else - usually a crevice - might mean a funnel web spider of some kind or maybe a Filistatidae.

Here's a picture of a house spider with some prey in its web. An egg sac is in the background.
