I have never heard of such a thing.  The idea of working under a car
that could roll is terrifying, and I'd very much worry about the car
alling off the stands when it was rolled.  a quick google turned up
these people: https://pivotalmanufacturing.com/ who make a rolling
base for a normal jack stand (looks like 1/4" plate with six casters,
plus a hook to capture the stand).  I wouldn't work under a vehicle on
them, without locking casters at the very least, but they probably
work for moving the car, if your floor is smooth and flat and clean.
