I read your question carefully and I understand your concern with your family history.
However there is no relation between sleepwalking and a brain aneurism. A brain aneurism is usually unless it ruptures which is a dramatic bleeding event in your brain, varying from very intense sudden headache to coma and death, so obviously not your case.
At times if very big or in certain locations can cause symptoms due to compression of brain structures, but the symptoms constitute neurological deficits not symptoms like sleepwalking.
I hope to have been of help.
