    In you're CPANEL, you'll find a SUBDOMAINS icon, click it. It'll ask you what name or folder name you want, choose something and click ok. It will then automatically create a folder in your root directory and you can (it might take a bit of time) access it via: http://subdomain.mywebsite.com. So anything you drop into that new subdomain folder will appear via that address. You could also access it via http://mywebsite.com/subdomain.

    Your host is either lying or incompetent, then. I've plenty of different wildcarded domains on a shared server.

    Most of the times all subdomains are wildcarded via a CNAME to the main A record, no matter what kind of hosting (shared, VPS...) you have.
