You need to Transform the ellipse shape. The accepted answer refers to the shortcut of Transform Path, which can also be found in edit → Transform Path.
Here you have the options selecting between specific transform actions like scale, rotate, skew, warp, etc.
For your case you will can use the rotate option, which will let you rotate the shape as you like. Once your shape is selected for transform, you can also switch between transform modes easily with right-clicking and selecting the desired transform mode.

I think if you will select layer with your ellipse and Ctrl+T you will see controls for changing size as well as arbitrary rotation. Play with it a bit.
