I have an oval with a circle cut out of the middle. I want to sweep a cross section along the inner circle and the outer edge of the oval to create an angled surface. I was thinking you could just use a rib, and you may very well be able to I just haven't been able to figure it out. My second thought was to create a variable section sweep with two trajectories. That didn't work. I attached pictures to help explain what I want to do. The first image shows the part and surface I want to sweep along. The bottom image shows the sesction I want to sweep along the inner circle and outer edge of oval.

You could create a surface using the revolve command as mentioned or a VSS using the edges as the two trajectories using the circle as the normal trajectory. You would then replace the surface of the disk using the offset feature. You could also create the full solid model by creating a sketch and VSS. Here are two showing a constant height for the outer edge and a constant angle for the surface.
