Firstly, this link lists the REST operations for working with message queues that Azure Storage provides, please check the link to get detailed informations.

Secondly, here is a sample request to create a queue under the given account, you could construct your request like this.

HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(string.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
"https://{0}.queue.core.windows.net/{1}",
StorageAccount, queuename));

req.Method = "PUT";
req.Headers.Add("Authorization", AuthorizationHeader);
req.Headers.Add("x-ms-date", mxdate);
req.Headers.Add("x-ms-version", storageServiceVersion);
req.ContentLength = 0;

and please refer to the following code and Authentication for the Azure Storage Services to construct the signature string for generating AuthorizationHeader.

string canonicalizedHeaders = string.Format(
    "x-ms-date:{0}\nx-ms-version:{1}",
    mxdate,
    storageServiceVersion);

string canonicalizedResource = string.Format("/{0}/{1}", StorageAccount, queuename);

string stringToSign = string.Format(
"{0}\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n{1}\n{2}",
requestMethod,
canonicalizedHeaders,
canonicalizedResource);

the request looks like this.
