Hi bee40,First you need some tools. [list]
mud pan
5 or 6 inch drywall blade
10 or 12 inch drywall blade
manual or drill mud mixer
sanding pole
80 & 100 grit drywall sandpaper
I would scrape and/or sand the walls with the 80 grit to knock them down as much possible.This may save a coat of mud.This next couple of steps are not really for a novice DIY but here they are.Float the walls and allow to dry and float again.Determine if the walls are finished by sanding a small area.If they are "ultra smooth and flat" prime and paint.If not float again.
