Thermal motion of the charges in a conductor do not create a magnetic field because the motion is entirely random. Overall each charge will cancel out other charges, with the net result being no magnetic field. There is no current flow generated by the heat, as that requires that the motion not be random, but have a net flow in a certain direction.
