No, only accelerating objects create gravitational waves. (Massless particles have energy so also have gravitational fields and produce gravity waves when accelerating, by mass-energy equivalence.) The analogue of a gravity wave is not a magnetic field, which is created by a moving charge, but rather the electromagnetic radiation produced by an accelerating charge, e.g. synchrotron radiation or radio waves from an antenna.
