I want to create an action say "moveup" when I press KEYW but I don't want to create it in the project settings is there any way to assign KEYW to action "moveup" in gdscript?

Try this:

# create the action 'move_up' if not already
if not InputMap.has_action('move_up'):
    InputMap.add_action('move_up')

var event = InputEventKey.new()
event.scancode = KEY_W
InputMap.action_add_event('move_up', event)

Check out this Input Mapping demo for more advanced key mapping.
