This can be false. In a valued field with value group $\mathbb{Q}$, such as the Hahn series field $k((t^{\mathbb{Q}}))$, the maximal idealof the valuation ring is not principal: if $v(a)=q>0$, an element of valuation $q/2$ belongs to $\mathfrak{m}$ but not to $(a)$. Thus the valuation ring need not be a principal ideal domain.
