Sweep not working to create cylinder

I created a circle and a path coming from the center (sorry for the lack of terminology). I wanted to use sweep to form a cylinder around the path with the circle being the diameter of the cylinder. However it won't light up the tick to accept it. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

The circle is on same plane as the path.

It should be on a plane perpendicular to the path.

Thankyou for your reply. Happy New Years to you as well. 

 

I though I had it perpendicular to the path. How do I get it perpendicular to the path?
