yes, menu Data -> Compact Data
(or similar, I'm just translating back from my German version
right now) gives you a dialog window where you can choose weekly

The command-line version would be
dataset compact ....
where I'm not sure of the parameters in this case, not having
much experience with weekly data.
It might also be worth noting that you can do this sort of thing
(or generalizations of it) easily with basic script commands.
<script>
nulldata 60
# fake daily data
setobs 5 1 --time-series
series x = normal()
genr time
genr mondum = (time % 5 == 1)
print time mondum x -o
smpl mondum --dummy
setobs 52 1 --time-series
print time mondum x -o
store weekly.gdt
</script>
