I would like to change the 'LineWidth' property for all my figures by default for my current session of MATLAB.

You can set the default MATLAB linewidth property by setting the 'DefaultLineLineWidth' property of the root graphics object. When new lines are created, they will inherit this property from the root object.
set(0, 'DefaultLineLineWidth', 2);

stairs returns a different type of graphics object than line. It creates a Stair object not a Line object.
figure
stairs(1:10, 1:10);
title('Before change')
% set(groot, 'DefaultStairLineWidth', 2)
objectType = 'Stair';
propertyName = 'LineWidth';
set(groot, ['Default', objectType, propertyName], 2)
figure
stairs(1:10, 1:10);
title('After change')
