I don't really know what to say, but I feel like I understand but don't at the same time. So does everything sort of do this? Or is it only objects massive enough?
So does everything move in a "lateral" fashion around the Sun? I've always wondered if the way I've pictured our solar system is wrong.
Idk man
I still want to go to the bottom of the ocean, but I do want to experience Earth while not on Earth.

What do you mean by lateral specifically? Are you talking about how things revolve around it? I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but the solar system essentially formed from a nebula. During the formation process the whole thing was spinning and the planets formed within that, which is why the planets' orbits and for the most part their rotational planes are on/close to the ecliptic (Earth's orbital plane, the path through the sky the sun will travel through over the year). As far as the gravitational waves, while even humans have a very small gravitational pull it's more about a distortion effect here. I'd assume that it either is a result primarily of high-mass objects (in the collision that caused the wave they detected, a ridiculous quantity of mass was converted to energy so if I had to take a guess while somewhat uninformed it might be a result of that instantaneous mass loss or otherwise the sheer amount of energy), or there could be some mechanics at play with dark matter and energy that we don't really know about yet.

It's always been expresses to me that the planets revolve around the Sun in kind of a horizontal manner (can't explain it properly). I can't really explain what I'm talking about.

The waves are produced when any object with mass accelerates, and orbiting is a form of acceleration. You need massive objects accelerating very fast (ie black holes colliding) to make the waves strong enough to detect. Otherwise, they are so faint as to be unnoticeable. As for why an accelerating object produces those waves, I can't explain it exactly, but accelerating charged particles produce electromagnetic waves for the same reason. This is the gravity version, instead of electromagnetism.
